The reason why one hasn’t been shot down is because all of us know there are political prisoners in this country and no one wants to get thrown in jail and the blob throw away the key.
At close enough range, say inside 75yds or so, a 3.5" fully-choked 12ga with a 28" barrel slinging Black Cloud or HeaviShot waterfowl loads would absolutely do some damage. I'm shocked this hasn't happened yet - you'd think enough people are fed up enough to do it (and not get caught)
I've got one of those old bolt action Marlin Goose guns. Barrel is 36". Haven't shot that thing for years; looks like I might have to dust it off lol.😘😘
Ever thought of becoming a "lone soldier" in Israel? Mika raved about their greatness, even mentioning an Indian one. You may have to convert, not sure.
Bullets have to come down someplace, they are still moving fast enough to do damage even when fired straight up, please don't. Usually several casualties in Mexico City during the first few minutes of January 1st from "celebratory gunfire"-
In my old office building we developed a leak in the ceiling and the roofers told us that it was a bullet hole. And that was right after New Years in Charlotte NC. I was thinking that the military or police should shoot one down. Not just people popping off rounds in a densely populated area.
Shouldn’t the government do this? I think about 9/11 with its four airplanes that the military was unable to handle. Whether you believe in 9/11, the fact that planes hit the towers, or the Pentagon or Pennsylvania without little interference was significant. The military has no idea what to do about an attack like this. That is scary. What mischief could a thousand drones do to us? Forget nukes, think shutting down the grid, no grid, no USA. Is this an exercise by the US military to see what could be done? Or China, Russia or Iran?
The latest BS is some NJ congressman saying after following the police for a night, that they are mostly low flying airplanes. ???? How come thousands all of a sudden? Also, another genius has stated that it is the result of the FAA allowing night time use of drones about a month ago. There is a good one, all the guys that have gotten pet drones early for Xmas are in their back yards flying them around, all the car sized drones they have received. If you have ever flown a drone, you know that it takes a little talent and experience to even keep one up in the air. These drones are swarming and flying in formation, where are the operators and who are they?
IMHO, these are maneuvers by adversaries just to see what we can or will do against this ploy. Like the “weather balloon”. And once again, the Biden administration shows what a bunch of incompetent knuckleheads they are. Now assume that data has been acquired that the USA does not have a clue, what is next?
Yes, shoot one down and see what it is.

Exactly. A federal law was passed that makes shooting at a drone = to shooting at an airliner.
Well, mine cost $1,400 so you'll piss me off if you shoot it down. Although to be frank I haven't flown it since 2022. It's only for overwatch.
Has anyone called Bezos to see if they are Amazon deliveries? The drivers delivery flu has lost 5 of my packages.
Cant remember what the range of a good goose gun is but seems to me some good ole bird hunters out there could bag a few of these things

Punt gun.
AR 10 would do the trick.

Yo JAZ, I know a thing or two about this stuff. DM me if you want to hear.
John,,
AI...AI autonomous drones. Yeah, it's a thing. Swarming technology.
But...but make sure your running lights are on at night...
I do remember the Sochi Olympics where I saw the positioning capability of drones for the first time. Has to be computer driven.

Refresh with “Leave the World behind”, a Michelle and Barack Obama production. Could you see it as a drone led possibility?
That Ethan Hawke has only gotten more irritating over time. The movie itself was modestly entertaining, I guess.
