Anyway, please stay safe and don't be afraid to defend yourself.
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???
Shotguns just can’t stop winning
"winning" and my dumb brain.. 
I heard that guy's a real crack shot.
Ive heard and seen some images and videos of soliders building their own antidrone ammo. They rip the tip off the casing and heat shrink a coulple of bbs together and crimp them to the casing. I'm not certain how legitimate or effective it is but I've seen several videos and images of it. They recomend staggering the homemade rounds with tracer rounds to help with aiming.
Hah, I suppose that could work!
Reminds me of ratshot .22 rounds.
Maybe somebody will start properly manufacturing basically ratshot 5.56 rounds.
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)
Drones that weigh 0.55 pounds or more must be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration. If you buy a drone, you're supposed to register it, and that puts the drone and your name into a Federal database.
Every electronic device with networking capability that exists has a "burned-in" MAC address that tells you info on the manufacturer, etc. This coupled with the drones serial number can narrow down specifically which device it was and allow law enforcement to figure out which specific store sold this specific drone. Then they hit the store with a warrant for the customers, match up the drone to a name, and go.
Communications with commercially available drones are generally unencrypted and easily intercepted. Triangulation of the source of the controlling unit would be trivial.
It's sooooo fucking easy to find someone who is using a drone if you're serious about it. It just takes law enforcement being serious about it. Also, there's a good chance that since you have to register it with the FAA that any crime committed with it would be considered a Federal crime.
You don't have to register it with the FAA; you're already going to murder someone, who cares if you break a few more laws?
The last point assumes someone's recording the wireless activity of the drone in the moments before the explosion, which I think is pretty unlikely. And the internals of the drone should be destroyed by the explosion, rendering it practically impossible to extract any identifying information other than the general drone model.
And even if all wireless traffic is being recorded and triangulated, pick a busy place and you're just one guy on your phone in a crowd of thousands. You can also order the drone anonymously months ahead of time and pick it up somewhere with poor security camera coverage to all but ensure there's no record linking it to you.
Register with the FAA? Lmao
Yes, yes. Let's also register our crime gun before we do the crimes with it.
Communications with commercially available drones are generally unencrypted and easily intercepted. Triangulation of the source of the controlling unit would be trivial.
You'd have to be looking for it while the drone was being operated, so you would have to either monitor all the time or be tipped off that someone was coming to get you. This isn't really a good deterrent to drone-based assassination.
Also, drones are trivial to build on your own these days. With a few months of extremely basic electronics education, a pile of off-the-shelf components and a little iteration you can have your own "ghost" drone that you can control via RF, cell towers from a modem you put onboard, bluetooth, line-of-sight-laser or whatever. The weapons on it are a different story, but people have been improvising ways to off each other forever. It's kind of what humans do best.
Scoped gun for a drone OK yeah, you clearly know what you're doing.
And that bipod, expert gun believer right there.
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.
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.
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.
shes more likely to die at the end of that gun than a drone. but only if you go by reality, statistics, etc.
Or some bystander of shooting into the air.
More on this splendid human being:
In now deleted tweets from 2015, it’s clear Rep. Maddox has always held racist beliefs. In an October 2015 tweet, Maddox responded to someone calling President Barack Obama a “coon” by saying that “Obama is not black. He is of African ancestry, not sharing the Black American heritage or experience.”
In a March 2015 tweet, Maddox said that “childhood sexual assault and neglect” was the reason for homosexuality and that she blamed the parents and LGBTQ people for their sexual preferences.
In a January 2015 tweet she claimed Islam is a “faith about destruction” and that there are no Islamic “hospitals, orphanages or universities.”
She's a genuine shit-person. 100% real human excrement propped up with modern technology to walk and talk sorta like a real human being!
Goodness me, what hate does to people. She was born in 1987 but looks like she could well be in her 50's.
She's younger than me?!? Jesus Christ.
If it flies, it spies
Birdwatching goes both ways
c/birdsarentreal
Fucking moron. You'll never hit a drone with that! The ruskies have been trying that for the last couple years with virtually zero success.
New Jersey people need new glasses...
There's no way she could hit a drone with a rifle
Why is she in the kitchen?
That's where conservative women belong
You'll notice a lot of videos made by conservative groups featuring women happen to be filmed in Kitchens.
I swear, that picture and her profile look AI generated. That smile... WTF.
People used to actually have to try to look this fake before computers would just do it for them.
Old and busted: UFOs
New hotness: drones
This bitch gonna shoot down actual manned aircraft, judging by the reports
Dumbass gun owners, sending rounds into unsuspecting people since 1364
