Shotguns would work well at eliminating these things

Shooting enthusiasts would flock to the border for a chance to bag a drone.

They could if they tried. Non-military drones are generally short-range, and we could track them by their control signals. The military should get involved, treating it as good training, since our soldiers WILL see similar things used against them by jihadis overseas.

...shotgun... FTA:
"The cover of darkness and the high speeds the drones can fly at make it nearly impossible for agents to shoot them down, even if they were allowed to use their firearms."

They also can’t hold course in a crosswind greater than 10kts.

Military has the means to stop these, at least in umpopulated areas.
Would be good training missions.
Drones are a big change in warfare. About of the Mongols’ archer-horsemen caliber.

Send those 2 ‘shotgun experts’, Biden & JF’nKerry to the border and they can show their expertise at Skeet Shooting..
Probably won’t want any pics taken though.
And I wouldn’t ‘advise’ US to pay for their shells...

I was just thinking that. Need goose guns, super full chokes, hot heavy loads. Would be fun as all heck.

Insanity. Shoot them down. If by some chance it violates our immigration laws, good. Who in the hell would know?

For this the government could get 1000 volunteers to shoot them down. They would supply their own ammo.
