“This legislation will likely never pass, because if you miss... that round has got to come down somewhere.”

This is what scares me. It’s absolutely unacceptable and downright dangerous in an urban area, and still a odds game with a bad prize for the “loser”.

But, due to the very nature of a drone, most are extremely fragile.

As a waterfowl hunter, I can tell you that I never shoot high-flying birds for a reason. I will miss! I have decoys for a reason... To lure the birds in close so I can make the shot.

Most drones fly higher than most birds. IF you even can see them, no way will you be able to shoot one that high.

The idea that anyone will be able to shoot down a military drone is preposterous! If it was that easy, the Taliban would be doing it daily.
