I would think a shotgun would take down a drone easy enough.

It gets even better as the military is now quickly looking for more ways of jamming the drones through software and radio wave contamination. This is something that has borne itself from the situation in Mosul and now Raqqa seeing how ISIS is now weaponizing retail quads and other types of commercially available drones.

Take that same technology to the firefighters and police so it eliminates the possibility of firing rounds into the air, especially in populated areas. They gotta fall somewhere.

Drone Interceptors. Take a drone, add a compact BB gun like those used in R/C naval warfare...

Yes if a drone is there, shoot the damn thing down. I’m stunned that we can’t fight fires because some idiot sends a drone up there, and that grounds flight operations.

All of this outrage over drones seems to me like fake news that has the intent to gin up support for either an outright ban of civilian owned drones or else for a government registry of drones.

Sort of reminds me of how some people want to ban guns or else excessively restrict them.

Meanwhile, in the real world firefighters are starting to use drones to fight fires and save lives:
