    What we don’t need are police that are. I don’t want police firing anti aircraft guns/missle barrages or having drone armies. It’s absolutely ridiculous to think that this is worth the thought, much less a single cent to fund.

      You know, there’s no reason we can’t have anti-drone fireworks.

      They don’t really even need dangerous amounts of explosives, they just need a strong net to get caught in a prop.

      Drones are pretty damn slow if you compare it to a rocket.

        I am thinking like silly string or something a bit more durable pressed into a ball. Launch it and some part of that sticky string is going to catch it.

      There’s exactly zero chance of that happening given the abundance of air traffic in the U.S. (Also specifically where these “drone” sightings are for obvious reasons).
