I wonder what's going to happen when one scratches a freshly painted deck.

At gilberts one went in right in front of my boat
on the raft up one hit the poles on the yacht and went down ( i didnt see if it hit a boat or went in the water)
one went in the water before the poker run even started

and i thought one crashed at the card stop in marina

While I don't ever see an outright ban on these small quadcopters, I do see some regulations in the future--especially for larger ones being used for commercial purposes (which I suspect will require licensed operators). All it's going to take to get the regulatory ball rolling is some bozo flying a quadcopter into a crowd of people at a public event. You just know that that's going to happen at some point, and the news media and politicians will go nuts.
