Anyway, please stay safe and don’t be afraid to defend yourself.

      I’m sure the gun is cheaper than the optics. A bolt action .308 isn’t really going to set you back much. If she wanted to really fight the drones she’d be rocking an M1A.

        Fuck it, mount those handheld EMPs on some poles all around your property and slip one in your bag. Wait, is this NCD?

    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)

      And almost no one talks about it.

      Most people don’t care to entertain the confusing, fantastic claims.

      ‘red, glowing UFO the size of a football field’ hovering at low altitude over US space launch base in California - in event witnessed by over half a dozen military personnel

      Crazy how nobody thought to snap a picture.

      Something is going on.

      People are blowing smoke up your ass is what’s going on. But because they’re lying to the faces of a bunch of incredulous Congressional hacks, it’s supposed to be something we take seriously.

    Aliens are not attacking.

    The drones have hurt no one.

    They are merely paying more attention now.

    Perhaps if society kills more CEOs, they will finally consider us sapient and establish contact.

    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.

    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!

    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.

      Why is that? People have hit more challenging targets. If the drone is stationary then it’s a no brainer easy target.

      I just watched a YouTube video of ukraine drone operators and they had a guy in the middle of a field shoot down 3 fpv drones. They got him eventually but it is possible…

    While I’ve seen first hand how the powerful have attempted to manufacture consent around the CEO’s assassination, their efforts are clumsy, uncoordinated, and haphazard. Like most conspiracy theories, this one fills all the gaps in plausibility and evidence with a “they” who are hyper competent with foresight bordering on omniscience.
