these things use known frequencies, how hard is it to highpower them from wall mounted units and burn out their receivers?

The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI identified this week unmanned aerial systems, or drones, as one of the greatest national security threats to America — rating it as severe a concern as cybersecurity hacks, critical infrastructure attacks, and terrorism.
While drones are often thought of as techie toys, officials are becoming increasingly worried about the threat they pose and are warning it's only a matter of time until the devices are used to drop a bomb or fentanyl powder on people in a populated area. Drones are already used by transnational criminal syndicates and drug cartels. The technology is readily available to terrorist groups.
Incidents that have gained public attention in recent years have largely involved inexperienced fliers losing control of the aircraft, but the military and law enforcement officers are already dealing with cases of drones being used for illicit purposes.
Border Patrol agents and port officers belonging to the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency are dealing with drones being used as airborne spies.
On the U.S.-Mexico border, drones are already being used to spy on federal law enforcement operations and smuggle contraband through the sky. The first drug smuggling incident via drone was documented in Nov. 2015. Now, it's a daily occurrence in some regions of the southern border, but it's rarely reported because CBP is unable to seize the devices. Arrests are rare.

Can’t farmers go skeet shooting?
Skeet shooting?
Skeet shooting is one of the three major disciplines of competitive shooting: recreational and competitive using shotguns. The objective is to attempt to break targets mechanically flung into the air at high speed from different angles.
What’s the matter with our border law enforcement? Shoot ‘em down!
Didn’t read the article, did ya?
They answer that question in the article.
Kin Ah get me a huntin' license here?
Kin Ah get me a huntin' license here?
Come on now, let’s be real.
The states would require buying a special tag and set the seasons.
Landowners would want to charge a hunting fee.
Auto targeting laser hits ANYTHING flying on the border.
Feed the homeless with any birdies.
Read the article?
What?
LOL
This should officially be treated as a violation of airspace, a true threat to our law enforcement and civilian population, and handled with extreme prejudice.
Life is of no concern to the cartels and their Mexican authorities south of our border. Nearly 100,000 people have died at their hands, in not very many years.
If Mexico does not, or cannot deal with this immediately, we need to create a wide DMZ south of our border, from which nothing can make it to our border.
This type of assault could justifiably be defined as an act of war. Additionally, Russia and China have significant military assets south of our border. We cannot allow Mexico to be their proxy.
And we absolutely can deal with this. Even a fraction of what we are able to do now would eliminate almost all of this.
Might i suggest a bounty.. on the drones, of course ;)
Like fishing along the beach.
In the dark, hitting a target flying high and fast. Cat-eyes? Radar vision?
Skeet shooting in the dark?
Drone hovering over your teenage daughter as she suns herself poolside? Sure. Open ground between Mexico and the U.S.? You'll probably never even see it or hear it as it cruises over your head at 500'.
You do not need a license to hunt Mexican drones and there is no bag limit
Exactly. Set them up in Macallen TX.
Mexicans, muzzie, antifa fags.
Take them all out.
