Montana congressional candidate Matt Rosendale swears he doesn’t have a problem with drones.

“I actually consider myself to be very supportive of technology,” Rosendale told Yahoo News in an interview on Tuesday.

Still, the question had to be asked after Rosendale on Monday released a new campaign ad in which he used a hunting rifle to shoot down a drone.

The ad opens with an overhead camera angle, with the drone menacingly hovering over the state senator.

“I’m Matt Rosendale and this is how I'd look from a government drone,” the candidate says as he’s framed dead to rights in a digital set of crosshairs.

“And this is what I think about it,” Rosendale says as the camera cuts to him cocking and firing a rifle. The camera switches back to the drone pilot’s point of view, with text reading “SIGNAL LOST,” after the simulated gunshot impact shatters the drone’s lens.

Don’t despair, drones are dirt cheap and getting cheaper. Soon enough we can build and program counter drones for 5 bucks apiece. It will be a big game!

A reach for just about anything available to the peasants. I guess that's why they want to keep restricting what we can have.

He'll be blackmailed, Breitbart-ed or involved in some “sex scandal” within a year.
