Summary: The commenter, identifying as a small business owner, opposes the ban on foreign-produced military-grade UAS and components. They argue that the ban will harm small businesses, increase costs for consumers, degrade infrastructure, and reduce America's global competitiveness and safety.
This ban would harm small businesses significantly more than the larger companies that can afford to buy all new equipment from other companies. This ban will make it so the only equipment available to the U.S. would be incredibly more expensive but lower in quality.
This will make it impossible for my business and many others to continue. Many businesses will be unable to compete and will be forced to close.
This will cause America to fall behind the rest of the world because we would not have access to the tools that the rest of the world utilize.
This would directly take away Americans freedom to choose and effectively eliminate our open free market.
This will degrade Americas infrastructure, agriculture and increase cost, environmental impact and cause many unnecessary injuries and deaths.
These tools are used in many ways to decrease the chance of people getting injured and in many life saving ways like finding missing people, disaster response, rescue missions, and fire management. This will increase the cost for everyone. It will directly cause an increase in our taxes, increase the price of food and cause an increase in cost in many different areas.
This will increase the amount of American injuries and deaths but is completely preventable by allowing these products to continue to be sold. If you ban these lifesaving products there will be unnecessary American injury and death.
This would end Americas ability to compete with the rest of the world. Without the ability to compete America will continue to fall further and further behind the rest of the world and it will degrade our entire society.
We would no longer be the land of the free. Please do not do this to America.
It would harm the entire country but would not provide anyone any more security. It is unethical to cause so much preventable and unnecessary pain and suffering. It would make me and many other Americans ashamed of our government.
