What an upside down world we live in today....The debate over gun control rages on....People are being drawn into supporting taking peoples private property to distribute to the collective...Rights, once proclaimed by our constitution granted us by God, are now determined, and given/taken by man....
And PETA wants to stalk, and harass legal hunters with drones....These people are just plain nuts. I'd shoot it down.
I can see future news stories of peta-tards filing lawsuits against hunters for shooting down their toys.
I can't wait for a blimp to be hacked and 'recovered' by an anti-PETA.Radio controlled small blimps would make more sense than mini helicopters. Small blimps could remain aloft for days and the majority of the time totally silence. The power of modern cameras - including thermal - would allow watching a huge area silently from very high up. If painted sky-background color they would essentially be invisible.
Unlike war drones subject to actually being shot down even at altitude, it would take little altitude for a blimp drone to be both unseen and out of the reach of firearms. Bullets don't go far straight up. Therefore, speed of travel would be irrelevant. The main purpose of the motor would be to just keep it where it's at.
I am sure harassment and trespassing is also a crime.And how do you prove that the hunter didn't mistake it for a bird?You mean cost YOU money. Destroying private property is a crime.
It has no phallic signifigance, its just a rifle.
All kidding aside...I don't see any irony here. Lots of lulz on both sides, many jokes to be had, but where's irony? Have hunters used drones on PETA or something?Oh the irony of drones being used against gun lovers! It is sweet.
However, most or at least some hunters aren't typical boomsticklovers, so I think PETA is going overboard on this one.
They should fly a drone over NRA CEO La Pierre's home. That would be justified.

Throwing rocks? How is a drone like a projectile?
The only thing that is clear is that unless there is something illegal going on, hunters have no reason to fear being taped and private citizens are within their rights to videotape the outdoors as much as hunters are free to hunt in it. So get used to it.
PETA is radical but PETA is also smart, their moves are calculated. Someone is going to start shooting at PETA drones, that's inevitable and PETA knows it. You have to consider why PETA wants their drone to be shot at. Clearly it's a bait move so as to make propaganda.I wonder how well they'd stand up to a couple shells' worth of 12 Gauge bird shot... :mrgreen:

I'm also curious....how is PETA going to use the drones for harassment? Let's say PETA fires up a drone, flys around for a bit, finds a hunter, ????, profit.
I would personally proffer to get some kind of after-market jammer, like the portable Warlock, and place myself such that I could jam a passing drone and cause it to crash.
A drone is not a military device, nor are firearms 'dangerous weapons'. Drones originated as a tool farmers used to monitor crops without having to go out psychically. It began as your typical RC aircraft with a beefed up antenna and a camera. The AirForce began a program to develop remote controlled aircraft off of this tool, for surveillance and air-to-air target practice for pilots. Only recently have RC aircraft evolved into drones, and as you can see, civilians can use drones.Since many hunters are NRA types who think their right to own dangerous weapons is sacrosanct, in fact there is some poetic justice in PETA using a military device to make their lives miserable.
But like I say, there's plenty of decent ethical people who hunt, so I think this stunt is misplaced. I wouldn't mind a drone perminenly circling La Pierre's home, however.
Because PETA folks taste like chicken.
Are they free-range fed?
If a drone fails and falls on your property, can you put it in your garage (picking up trash) and refuse to allow the owners to retrieve it (no trespassing)?
I HOPE a drone crashes on my property. I'll sue the living **** out of PETA.
Can we sue the living **** out of the government if it's their's?
I bet you could, if it crashed on your property. Hitting your house would be a plus, I'm sure.
This drone stuff is scary and ominous.
Could someone theoretically send a thousand drones to circle around your house at all hours?
Is the "air" above your property technically still privately owned?
I think you should be allowed to shoot and disable any drone near your person. Whether you're in your backyard, in the forest hunting game, whatever. We are entitled to a reasonable sense of privacy.
