Anyway, please stay safe and don't be afraid to defend yourself.
Please, do NOT shoot at airborn targets, or any target where your are not certain a missed shot will safely land in an empty area.

Also shooting down a drone counts as shooting down an actual airplane, which is like, a super felony. So probably just don't.
Also, the drone falling could hit someone or something. So seriously, don't.
Yep, that's why birdshot is basically the only safe ammo that can be shot into the air unless you're in the middle of the ocean or something.
If it flies, it spies
Birdwatching goes both ways

COINCIDENCE? I think...so.
That's drone better be pretty low on the horizon
GovCo owns the drones. The simple fact that they haven't shot them down means they own them.
This is a distraction. It's to distract people because for some reason there was a sudden unexpected explosion of class consciousness.
Stop talking about the fucking govt drones. Keep scaring billionaires.
The one I saw a picture of was a manned helicopter. (Flying in a legal area too .. which is why they aren't being shot down near a military base, because if they were a threat, in air they weren't allowed to fly in... They would be intercepted or shot down)
All she has in her house are succulents? That makes sense. They're literally the only things someone like her could possibly hope to keep alive. They need almost zero attention, maintenance, or moisture.
Just like her brain.

Anyone who thinks they stand a chance against drones with a gun hasn't been paying attention to what's happening in Ukraine.
Gonna pew pew a CEO in the back? Sure, guns work for that.
Trying to save your own life against a fast and agile target that needs way less precision than you to be effective and probably never even presents a target? Nah mate, you're fucked.
There are some, handheld firearms that are used as a last-ditch / cheap anti drone solution in Ukraine, by both sides.
Drum roll.....
Its shotguns.
Because they have a spread of multiple shot pellets instead of a single bullet.
Fucking obviously duh, they've been used to hunt small, evasive birds routinely, everywhere, for like 150+ years.
Hunting a nimble flying object with a sniper rifle is a laughably absurd idea.
This actual post from this woman is so stupid I would have thought it was from a 12 year old whose only experience with guns is from CoD... but nope, its a 50ish(?) year old woman.
Guess she's never hunted birds, and thinks its just the same as hunting deer or hogs or something???
Also, people seem to be forgetting that shotguns don't only shoot shot or slugs:

Not gonna lie, if she can take a drone out with that I'd be pretty impressed.

Now here's a thought... What about using drones to "take care of" a CEO? The risk of being caught would be lower, as you can be located hundreds of meters away or more. It's also relatively easy to acquire a drone, and you can make explosives with stuff you can buy at the hardware store.
(Disclaimer: This is just a thought experiment, I'm not dumb enough to try this, don't worry FBI :3)

Scoped gun for a drone OK yeah, you clearly know what you're doing.
$100 says she barely takes that thing past 100 yards...good luck hitting a drone 400+ yards from you moving at 60mph.
I don’t know anything about shooting or why a scoped gun is a bad thing…I know she won’t shoot down a single drone with that thing though.
A scope limits your field of view. It makes it easier to hit far away things moving relatively slowly/predictably.
It would be the opposite of helpful against a fast/close small target. There's a reason duck hunters use shotguns.
And that bipod, expert gun believer right there.
- Prone shooting position, check
- Bipod firmly on the ground, check
- Aim at drone overhead, shit…
I'm not a gun person, but it seems to me like anyone who claims they can shoot down a drone with a rifle is also revealing themselves to not be a gun person.
