Fucking moron. You'll never hit a drone with that! The ruskies have been trying that for the last couple years with virtually zero success.

Dumbass gun owners, sending rounds into unsuspecting people since 1364

More on this splendid human being:

In now deleted tweets from 2015, it’s clear Rep. Maddox has always held racist beliefs. In an October 2015 tweet, Maddox responded to someone calling President Barack Obama a “coon” by saying that “Obama is not black. He is of African ancestry, not sharing the Black American heritage or experience.” 

In a March 2015 tweet, Maddox said that “childhood sexual assault and neglect” was the reason for homosexuality and that she blamed the parents and LGBTQ people for their sexual preferences.  

In a January 2015 tweet she claimed Islam is a “faith about destruction” and that there are no Islamic “hospitals, orphanages or universities.” 

She's a genuine shit-person. 100% real human excrement propped up with modern technology to walk and talk sorta like a real human being!

TIL African people aren't black, apparently?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 0 points 1 hour ago

She forgot the One Drop rule of racism.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

I was about to ask who even is that? But now I’d rather forget.

New Jersey people need new glasses...

This bitch gonna shoot down actual manned aircraft, judging by the reports

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

She should have spent that money on kitchen decoration, or a hairdo.

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 42 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (4 children)

Please, do NOT shoot at airborn targets, or any target where your are not certain a missed shot will safely land in an empty area.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Knowing the golden rules? No, that sounds like communism or something.

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Did not a bunch of People shot at a Tornado, at one point?

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 21 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Also shooting down a drone counts as shooting down an actual airplane, which is like, a super felony. So probably just don't.

Just fly your own drone and ram into their drone. Then you pull an uno reverse and claim they hit you first. FAA aint touching this, and cops are too lazy to do anything and will say its "Civil Matter"

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Also, the drone falling could hit someone or something. So seriously, don't.

[–] GooseFinger@sh.itjust.works 10 points 19 hours ago

Yep, that's why birdshot is basically the only safe ammo that can be shot into the air unless you're in the middle of the ocean or something.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 24 points 19 hours ago

If it flies, it spies

Birdwatching goes both ways

Anyone who thinks they stand a chance against drones with a gun hasn't been paying attention to what's happening in Ukraine.

Gonna pew pew a CEO in the back? Sure, guns work for that.

Trying to save your own life against a fast and agile target that needs way less precision than you to be effective and probably never even presents a target? Nah mate, you're fucked.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 104 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (34 children)

There are some, handheld firearms that are used as a last-ditch / cheap anti drone solution in Ukraine, by both sides.

Drum roll.....

https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2024/analysis-shotguns-emerge-as-a-frontline-defense-against-drones-in-evolving-military-and-security-tactics

Its shotguns.

Because they have a spread of multiple shot pellets instead of a single bullet.

Fucking obviously duh, they've been used to hunt small, evasive birds routinely, everywhere, for like 150+ years.

Hunting a nimble flying object with a sniper rifle is a laughably absurd idea.

This actual post from this woman is so stupid I would have thought it was from a 12 year old whose only experience with guns is from CoD... but nope, its a 50ish(?) year old woman.

Guess she's never hunted birds, and thinks its just the same as hunting deer or hogs or something???

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Old people can be stupid too :-)

GovCo owns the drones. The simple fact that they haven't shot them down means they own them.

This is a distraction. It's to distract people because for some reason there was a sudden unexpected explosion of class consciousness.

Stop talking about the fucking govt drones. Keep scaring billionaires.

[–] AhismaMiasma@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

It started a full week before the shooting though.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

The one I saw a picture of was a manned helicopter. (Flying in a legal area too .. which is why they aren't being shot down near a military base, because if they were a threat, in air they weren't allowed to fly in... They would be intercepted or shot down)

Scoped gun for a drone OK yeah, you clearly know what you're doing.

All she has in her house are succulents? That makes sense. They're literally the only things someone like her could possibly hope to keep alive. They need almost zero attention, maintenance, or moisture.

Just like her brain.

I'm not a gun person, but it seems to me like anyone who claims they can shoot down a drone with a rifle is also revealing themselves to not be a gun person.
