I find your uninformed fear mongering unhelpful, the dangers posed by these drones is relatively negligible. The laws already exist to prosecute those who deserve it and the currently proposed registration system should help with that.

The current problem is twofold: 1) We need better education of new UAS owners (and articles like this one don't help). 2) We need sane new rules and guidelines that allow drone operators to safely and legally do the sorts of things that are currently not allowed (autonomous operation, FPV flight outside of line-of-sight, and commercial operations)

I think 2) is important because you need buy-in from the community so that they self-police and self-educate. If your rules are asinine and un-informed you will alienate pilots and your enforcing job will be MUCH harder.
