It's not smart to declare war on people with guns.

Skeet shooting, I wonder if laser pointers could blind them, its happened to human pilots in aircraft.

So Cheney's hunting for more friends to shoot in the face?

Well there are several issues here. First is, most states have laws forbidding PETA folk from harassing hunters involved in lawful activity and these craft are loud--far too loud to allow the hunters to hunt. On these grounds alone the courts need to rule this harassment.

Second is, hunters have a right to the expectation of privacy when in the wilderness. Spying on them is a violation of that civil right.

Third is the drones only have a half hour flight time, so there's little chance of actually viewing the suspected activity they're after.

And of course there's nothing to say a hunter can't just shoot them out of the sky if he likes. I now I would.

Bah, I have hunted, butchered, and eaten licensed deer, and brought the trophy and carcass out of the forest. Frankly I like a six-inch cut out of the loin of a corn-fed steer, but the game is a nice change as long as it's not too common. Poppy seeds are mandatory in the gravy for game, I find.

Boar is another matter; I have stopped a wounded boar with a Desert Eagle. People talk about courage, but I was more worried about my horse's legs than my own. Afterward was another matter, but I think people who worry about courage miss the point. You'll have what nature has to give you when you need it.

Spammer are too fat and blind to hunt.
