I congratulate Senator Rand Paul.

At least he takes things seriously. I am troubled by the drone program. I find his protest more than interesting. I wish him well.

There is one thing though.

Just one.

Senator Paul stated he is opposed to the drone program domestically for all non-combatants. 

Non-combatants. So, if Americans are combatants then it is okay to send in the drones.

Does that mean all the people that use their weapons to attack the government in defense of their freedom are going to be attacked the day they become combatants?

Or, does Senator Paul see the people that take up weapons against their government are the non-combatants and the government is the combatant?

Because the government has the drones. So, if the people rise up against their oppressive government by getting all their weapons out of the moth balls for this one occasion they have saving them for which stops all regulation by the government aren't they the non-combatants. 

But, if the people rising up against the government are the non-combatants how do they stop the government from using the drones since the government is the combatants?
