Oh boy, a raygun. Now, if they can just get the flying car out the door, I can die a happy man.

Yeah, that’s the weapon I want “you-know-who” to have in his arsenal when he declares martial law.

Aren't there plans to deploy 30,000 surveillance drones on US airspace within a decade? Even Amazon plans on delivering light packages via drones in the not-to-distant future.
Wait until AQ or some ME sleeper cell gets their hands on one of these babies.
I don't see a lot of good coming from these developments.

Truth be told, the new generation of spy satellites can probably see anything current drones can although their time over target is more limited.

Coming soon, the "Moonraker" model, as we fight China for domination of the Moon and orbit...

Chinese probably bought/ stole the technology from us already.

And there are those who think “we” can win against “them” with handguns.

No one wins force-on-force with the US military.
Still guys in black pajamas and guys with rags on their heads can win by other methods.

I see really shiny mortar shells coming to a drone near you.
Drone’s don’t need to carry their explosives, the GPS coordinates will be enough to take you out and then these lasers will be much less effective.

If they see a chubby, bearded, old guy riding a sleigh through the air pulled by reindeer, I hope they’ll hold their fire.

Is this guy you’re describing WHITE?
