I was thinking the same thing. Bonus points for hitting one at 30,000 feet.

First person to shoot down a spy drone from a R/C helicopter will become a folk hero who is not in jail.

And be arrested and thrown under the jail when the last image from the drone is John Doe pointing a shotgun at the drone.

But he'll be a hero.

And here I was thinking I was the only one pondering methods to create a homemade MANPAD that could drop one of these drones.

Americans are very creative and it probably won’t take too long for a “civilian” to come up with a cheap, inexpensive Drone Buster. If that were to happen, I would suspect that this “Folk Hero” would probably be shortly working for one of the larger corporations that develop weapons for our military. :)

I assume that they are radio controlled.

I also assume that if it impossible to come up with a video key that cannot be broken it is also impossible to come up with a radio code that cannot be broken.

Therefore I also assume that someone will be able to take control of the drone and do whatever with it.

"I would predict the first guy who uses a second amendment weapon to bring a drone down who is hovering over his house will become a folk hero."

I suspect the first guy to bring down a drone will do so from behind a keyboard.

If I had a .50 cal, and knew I’d get away with it, I wouldn’t hesitate.

Retired experienced London Blitz RAF Spitfire pilots have new job opportunity. Instead of Nazi Buzz Bombs it will now be Obama/Napaliotano Drones.

Looks like I need to hone my small, moving target skills again.

Drones are military equipment. Isn't it a violation of Posse Comitatus to use drones over the United States against its citizens?

>It ought to be used in Somalia to hunt bad guys but not in America.<

.
Hell, there are enough bad Somalis, Yemenis and muslim terrorists living in the US under the guise of being American citizens to warrant the use of a drone.

Looking at the multicultural landscape, one has to ask oneself: “Where does America start and where does it end?”

It is certain that the Founders would not recognize the country if they visited it today.

The government using drones is conducting war on Americans. Resist. Resist. Resist.
