Paris already bans drones at night and requires a permit to operate during the day. The fourth sentence in the article states this...

It's far easier to "weaponize" your car and park it by a target. You'll do far more damage and be much less conspicuous than a drone operator who needs to maintain a line of sight to the drone. Yet cars are not banned.

Anything lightweight you would weaponize a drone with is already a monitored substance. The privacy and nuisance concerns associated with drones are far more significant than the threat of weaponized drones, which is really quite ludicrous and impractical.
