Deer trails, Colorado is debating on whether or not to allow its citizens to get a permit to be able to shoot down drones. If you shoot one down that has federal markings on it you get $100 dollars
What is everyone's opinion on this?
I think it's stupid and shouldn't be done
If you want the link to the article I can post it
Link please. I would like the full details.

There it is and keep in mind it's still a debate
Other than potential bullets falling on innocent people from missed drone shots, I agree with it. The fact that we have drones on US soil is sickening.
As the article says, it's more than likely an act of protest.
I think would be cool for a novelty item more or less
There's too much stupid in this equation.
So we have drones flying over our own territory doing god-knows-what (Stupid)
+
Gun-toting idiots firing wildly into the air trying to shoot them down (really stupid)
+
Encouraging idiots to fire at them more by offering them money? (Extremely stupid)
=
Gee, what can possibly go wrong here?
There's actually a really easy way to make a homemade e.m.p esque device to overload these drones from a moderate range, I don't have the article anymore but a group had tested it and everything.
Shoot the drones down, I'm all for it.
Maybe they can join a drone shooting club, learn how to do it. We can all stand to learn a lesson about shooting them down.
