A sane, normal person (regardless if they own guns or not) would find the operator and politely (or not so politely) ask them to respect their property. If that fails, call the police and have them inconvenience the operator for a bit.

That's a civilized mentality which people who think only for themselves ignoring those around them lack a lot of.

Not sure when we will be rid of the menace of guns. I mean the mentality behind owning guns is the same mentality that criminals have. Might makes right. Why didnt this guy just go speak to the person hovering over his land? Shooting without asking any questions is hardly reasonable behavior.

In Australia they took away the guns and it proved to be a very successful endevour. The problem we have in the U.S. Is that the gun manufacturers have more say in congress than the American people.

Actually, most conservatives I know don't want stupid people to own guns. Stupid people give everybody a bad name conservative or liberal, really doesn't matter.

Well he said the people "HE" heard, how is that ignorant?

And his comment was such a non sequitur. It has nothing to do with politics.

Well if one is hovering over your property that shouldn't stop you from flying your own drone and taking it out with whatever means necessary.....flying robot wars, bring it on.
