I am for drones but their should be a restrictions on people who abuse the power of it.Like check if the person has a crimnal record, is over eighteen years of age, and also have a liscense for it.Basically needs to earn the right of a drone so it doesnt end up in a wrong citizens hands.

# data[].attributes.body
i am against and for drones. My reason why i'm against it is because people are beginning to use them in dangerous situations. it can be used in a good way for military purposes.

I disagree with every one having drones. drones should be like guns, you should have a permit/license to own one. but in this case you have to explain really what the drone will be used for.

# data[].attributes.body
I am for drones because they can be used for many things. For example they can capture good shots when filming a movie or video in general. They can also be used to deliver items to people. They're will always be crazy people doing things to everything so you can't use that as an excuse to not liking drones.

# data[].attributes.body
I am for the use of Drones. They can be used to get amazing shots for movies or just video in general. You could regulate Drones by having the person apply for a License and give them a background check. There will always be crazy people like how there is with guns and ruin it for the rest of us.

# data[].attributes.body
I am against the use of drones, but at the same time I'm not. I'm against them because they can get dangerously close to people and seriously injure them. I am for them because they help out the military branches.

# data[].attributes.body
I am against the use of drones controlled by people outside of the military or government. I say this because as time goes by, some citizens are getting dangerous and more harmful by the second, so by allowing them access to advanced technology, it's only a matter of time before more people get hurt. Drones should be used for beneficial purposes like helping find hostages or stranded people and not for purposes like recording people without the permission or smuggling illegal drugs.

# data[].attributes.body
Obviously drones are a problem for regular people to have, so i don't understand why dont they just make a law that regular people can't have drones. Drones could only be use as a military weapon. They say that at least 2 drone incidents occur every day so like... just make it illegal.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
I don't agree with everybody owning a drone. What If It's in the hands of the wrong person. Like a felon or drug addict.

# data[].attributes.body
I am against of the use of drones because people are going to use them how they want too. They might be offended by other peoples use.

# data[].attributes.body
I am for the use of drones if they are primarily implemented by groups such as the military. Public use of drones could be helpful, but it would need to be regulated in several ways for any kind of assured safety.

# data[].attributes.body
I am against the use of drones because if they get into the wrong hands they could cause injuries or even take someone's life. Drones can also make people feel uncomftorable because they can violate their privacy.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, I'm for the use of drones since they have their benefits. In order to prevent issues with drone we have to establish rules and regulate them.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that the drones only should be use for military response! because they easily can be a weapon

# data[].attributes.body
againts it because they can get out of control and if they do people going to die

# data[].attributes.body
i believe anyone should be able to get a drone because it can help people in many ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe drones should be used for public use, but should require a license, i.e. Drivers licence, Guns license

# data[].attributes.body
i against drones because they can be hacked into be anyone. then again thy can be use for good

# data[].attributes.body
Drones are used for more than just terror and surveillance. My standpoint on drones from the beginning was positive due a YouTube channel using them to acquire good air shots for their videos. It is a tool for filmmakers and anyone who finds flying a drone fun. A license requirement is a good idea to implement seeing as how the DJI Phantom I will require a special "Drone Pilot License". Although, some people will find a way to use anything for bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I am against the drones beacause they are man made machines that can easily disfunction and kill a large mass of people

Drones are a central element of President Barack Obama's counterterror strategy as the administration bets that sending the unmanned devices into places like Pakistan and Afghanistan poses fewer political and military risks than mobilizing ground troops. But the strategy has provoked a backlash from critics who say drones too often result in civilian casualties and are shrouded in secrecy.

Obama's announcement on Thursday that a U.S. counterterrorism operation targeting an al Qaeda compound in January accidentally killed the hostages -- American Warren Weinstein and Italian Giovanni Lo Porto -- gave new perspective to the debate. Activist groups quickly called for increased transparency by the administration in how it carries out counterterrorism drone strikes.

"I think that it puts a lot of pressure on the U.S. government rationale of needing to keep things secret for national security purposes," said Naureen Shah, the director of Amnesty International USA's Security and Human Rights program. "It's a win for people inside the administration who were fearful that they were leaving behind a legacy of secret global killings."

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed multiple Freedom of Information Act lawsuits against the United States to obtain more data about the policies, strategies and victims of drone strikes. In a statement Jameel Jaffer, the group's deputy legal director, said the president's disclosure of the deaths raised "troubling questions about the reliability of the intelligence that the government is using to justify drone strikes."

But the political response -- so far -- is notably subdued.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest defended the administration's drone strategy.

"Our preference when dealing with suspected terrorists is to capture, detain, debrief and prosecute them," he said. "But the fact is ... in some areas of the world, particularly in remote locations where extremists are hiding out, local authorities have limited capacity and, in some cases, limited will to go after these extremists."

He added: "We can't conduct an Osama bin Laden-style raid against every terrorist."

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who is seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, has railed against the administration's use of drones. On Thursday, he simply said the unintended casualties were a "tragedy."

Most other Republicans eyeing the White House didn't address the drone debate on Thursday. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who was Obama's first secretary of state, also remained quiet.

And on Capitol Hill, Republicans who are often critical of Obama's foreign policy were hesitant to criticize the president or his use of drone technology to fight militant groups. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican, said the killings did not raise questions about the use of drones in counterterrorism efforts.

"There are consequences to war and we're in one," Burr said. "We hate where there's collateral damage. We hate when they're Americans. But as proven by the president's statement, we also killed two other Americans that were part of the terrorist organizations."

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, who serves on the Senate Committee on Armed Services and is considering a 2016 run agreed with Burr.

"You can't stop the drone program because of this," Graham said. "The hostages are innocent victims. I feel terrible for them, but we're at war and we've got to keep prosecuting this war."

The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who has a led the committee to review the use of drone strikes, said in a statement on Thursday that more information on counterterrorism operations, including the number of civilian and non-civilian deaths, should be made public in an annual report.

In an interview in the Capitol, Feinstein said her committee had followed the program "very closely and very carefully," and had conducted more than 50 oversight visits.

"We have been very impressed with the patience, with the targeting, with the skill which is very precise," she said.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee acknowledged that "casualties happen."

But "civilian casualties are a concern, whether they are American or native to the country where it's being conducted," he said. "That is a real concern."

CNN's Athena Jones, Ted Barrett and Deirdre Walsh contributed to this report.
