As someone with a bit of experience in the unmanned aircraft world, allow me to explain, once more, how gunloons are dummies.
Setting aside the paranoia and conspiracy theories surrounding drones, they are remarkably hard to shoot down. After all, drones have been deployed to honest-to-Flying Spaghetti Monster combat zones against fighters with military-grade weapons, tactics, and training.
Yes, drones have been shot down. Less than 5 of the earlier UAV variants were shot down in Kosovo using anti-aircraft weapons and shoulder-fired missile launchers. But when drones go down--infrequently-- it's usually because of a mechanical malfunction. Moreover, today's drones are better protected in terms of avionics (the part you need to disable)--standard hunting gear just ain't gonna do it.
Of course, this ignores the fact that shooting a moving aircraft at a distance of well over 600 feet with a legal firearm --ain't gonna happen. And let's not forget--gunloons aren't the brightest among us --can they distinguish between the Evvvvilll Gobbbeermint drone and the Piper Cub? And let us not forget that throwing lead into the air for no good reason has bad consequences
