Why is that nuts ?

Have you ever tried to shoot down a drone?

I see nothing inherently wrong with his position.

One can only assume that you agree with thousands of drones equipped with cameras watching over you?

So I take it you will open fire on a drone if you see one?

Because warrantless searches are a-ok right?

One person said it.
“But I had somebody last week in Washington from either Georgia or Alabama that was saying, ‘Look, this goes back to we have got to have at least 50 rounds in our magazines because on average that’s about how many it takes to bring down a drone.’ I hope he was kidding, I don’t know for sure.”

You didn't even read the article you linked to. That isn't surprising.

I can see this developing where there is drones flying all over the place like the Will Smith movie. I can also see harsh penalties for shooting or destroying a drone. Even if the penalty was just 90 days in jail how would most pay their bills? how many employers would hold your job for that time frame? That alone would deter a slew of people from shooting down drones I know I would not have a choice.

Actually, it's not nuts. We should all shoot down spying devices.

You have to get caught first

I wonder if this guy knows that there is a thing called gravity that makes bullets fall back to earth when shot into the sky. And those falling bullets tend to hit things like, oh, I don't know...people.

If anyone doubts this visit Miami on New Years eve or 4th of July when the idiots shoot their guns into the air.

They will have technology or they might already have? that the gvt can pin point exactly where the drone fell.
