Our efforts can be productive primarily thorough developing defenses, house shielding, perhaps, and the like. Some effort should go into "banning" these devices, I suppose, but that would only make direct use of evidence derived inadmissible in the courts. That is only a little useful so long as the government abides by the Constitution and the Law. How likely now is that in a disaster or with politicians running things?
Does it not strike you as ominous and outright wrong to fear your government in such a way? It’s run up to the point that Americans are prisoners in their country to a government that USED TO represent them. Now they’re just slapped into place like mayo on a sandwich and expected not to be bad or otherwise cause discomfort, distaste, or disaster.
Furthermore, this is the sort of shit for which the Second Amendment should stand. When people say, “Oh, you don’t need a tank” or “You don’t need a grenade launcher” or “You don’t need a drone,” they’re really saying, “You’re not competent enough to have [one of those things].” But our government is competent enough? We’re not permitted to have a variety of military armament out of FEAR that we would use it against our government, and God damn right they should be afraid! That’s the way this country was founded.
The fact that these drones are in use doesn’t scare me. It’s the fact that we can’t field our own drone force to combat them when the time comes that the government has become tyrannical; a time that I would argue has already come and gone.
