You just know they have Hellfire missiles mounted on some of them, and not the ones patrolling the southern border, if they even have any.

Some tech savvy folks will have fun taking over these drones. Flying these over US cities will be quite different from flying drones over 9th century hellholes.

Well that was fast wasn’t it? They announced the drones a few weeks ago and now they admit they will arm them.

Not that I didn’t think they would. Of course they will.

Based upon FAA regulations (25 lbs), the drones that are allowed to fly in and around civilian populations are too small to carry anything that is heavy.

The police can’t legally shoot someone unless they have an immediate fear for their life or another’s. That’s going to be hard to justify when they are munching donuts in a remote trailer.

These drones are not all that special any more.

There are hobbyist groups that build and fly their own drones...modern, inexpensive compact cameras with 40x optical zoom and
1080p optically stabilized imaging can be bought at Walmart.
The rf relaying of the live images can be done with cheap off-the-shelf rf modules.

Since the status of Americans has been lowered to that of potential domestic terrorists then that makes them equal to foreign, Muzzie terrorists. And all those terrorists need killin’, right?

Fire away, Feds.

Will rewards be issued by the New Black Pampers for the shooting down of drones (armed or not)?

No need to result to firepower where a flamethrower will work just fine. Drones of this size and type flying below 400’ can be jammed out of the sky by anyone with a little skill.

The FReepers that claimed drones were only flying over the US due to "testing" for the military should be arriving any minute now to tell us we have nothing to fear.

.......any minute.......

The borders have been wide open for decades. There's no control over visa over stays.

We have LEOs and the feds anxious to fly drones, armed or not, over our land. For safety.

Ever heard of a more outrageous contradiction?
