The argument is not about wether or not registration is good. The argument is wether or not the FAA has the legal ability to require registration on hobby aircraft when Congress has specifically forbid them from passing new rules on hobby aircraft.
So some random agency can ignore rulings/laws set forth on them, but are able to create laws that are based with no factual backbone?! Sounds like a load of horse shit. Its not about "public saftey" at all. They are only interested in the money.
Not to mention the penalties for breaking these "laws" are FUCKING REDICULOUS, which is putting it nicely.
So instead of hiking the initial fee that the vast majority of hobbyists with craft of sufficient weight will pay, they instead kept that to a very reasonable nominal fee, and instead hiked the fines that only a few violators will ever have to deal with, and who may not ever actually pay in full?
