Huge difference between a sniper and a drone. You can protect your home from intruders. You can keep guns at home to defend yourself from an attacker. But a drone can demolish your home in a second with a rocket. Your guns are entirely useless against a drone.

I’d love to hear of someone shooting down a drone with a .50 BMG and claiming self-defense because the drne was armed.

Better yet, I’d love to hear of a drone being shot down by a round (or 2 or 3) from a .50 BMG and no one getting arrested for it.

Nonsense. Your guns are useless against heavy weaponry, not heavy weaponry mounted on a drone.

You can keep guns at home to defend yourself from an attacker.

The 2nd Amendment might, or might not, mean Americans as a people have sufficient firepower to defend themselves against a government turned tyrannical. Hopefully it will never reach the point we find out.

But it is nonsense on stilts to pretend that an individual American family will be able to defend itself successfully against overbearing LEOs or military. If you initially repel an attack, which is arguably what happened at Ruby Ridge or Waco, the government doesn't crawl away and lick its wounds. It brings in as many reinforcements and as much heavy weaponry as is necessary to take you down.

Weapons in the home may be highly useful against criminal intruders. A firefight with LEO or military will not have a happy ending.

You can make a decent case that going down fighting makes it a good day to die, but don't deceive yourself that you won't be going down. Possibly you will spark a rebellion that will eventually win, but you and probably your family won't be there to see it.
