The scary part to me is that they either didn't know about or doing anything about " to protect the homeland in the circumstances of a catastrophic attack like the ones suffered on Dec. 7, 1941 and Sept. 11, 2001."

Guess we'll be flying by the seat of our pants gain?

Stock up now-- before they ban it!!!

[hill.brandonj]

Hahaha that's funny as hell ^^^.

[sneaky one]

Let it go, don't act the fool on the drones-I know 3 that built them- they have knowledge of the plans for them. They may patrol a small area, southern border, yet probably not too heavily armed at all, think == uncle sam, obamma has an eye on ya!


Let's start to Minimize the idiotic paranoia on this?!!!!!! This is the 6.5 Grendel forum-not the end of world forum-let's get back on track guys, gals.

Yes, it's room 2A- yet,, move on.

[hill.brandonj]

Ha I didn't even watch the video. I like that box of shells though But people from southeast Missouri are easily amused and also distracted by pictures of any sort

[LRRPF52]

An Alitalia flight reported seeing a drone today as they flew their final to JFK. I have inner sanctum knowledge of exactly what it was up to that I'll share with you guys before they take me out. Peace and chicken grease...it's been a good run fellas....

[Hank Rearden]

I'd like to get in on this with you boys...But I gave up Conspiracy theories for Lent.

Gee I cant wait till Easter.

[smoke13]

Careful what you say boys and girls you might be deemed a threat by the imperial regime and paid a visit from a Reaper!

(Rand Paul) "4700 people killed by drone strikes around the world... many of them killed carry weapons but many were not.” Many of the "enemy combatants" are killed from the drone strike while sleeping in their homes...

You have media types reporting on things that they do not understand. UAVs have limits. Urban areas are one of them. And who is going to waste a $20,000 missile on some redneck?

BTW, most of our kills made from UAVs have happened in open areas. Harder to hit someone walking in his backyard.

No, we don't live in a police state at all...

I would love to see this capacity. I have used Preds before. It would have been nice to have this level of technology. Sorry but I think that this is mostly BS from some Govee type who really got the wool pulled over his eyes by some contractor. If this was possible then why not use it against all of those gun carrying democrats (gang bangers) in the big cities?

What this is really about is that the feds, under the democrats, are being given a pass to do assissinations of US persons on US soil. Where is Code Pink? Oh, they do not protest democrats.

Now is this mostly to be done on US citizens who are terrorists (ie Muslims or militia)? Or is it more for political purposes so that those in power can eliminate their opponents? Would it not be easier to use Obamacare to put those who you dislike into mental hospitals?

Which particular stats do you question? Things are improving by leaps and bounds daily. Even Gorgon Stare is old school by now...

Rand Paul in yesterday's Brennan filibuster, "The killings overseas have raised questions about what would be allowed on the homeland."

Mr. Paul described the legal situation as one in which one person — the president — holds the power to be the accuser, the judge and the executioner, since terrorist-designation proceedings are all contained within the executive branch and conducted generally in secret.

“Are we so afraid of terrorism, are we so afraid of terrorists that we’re willing to just throw out our rights and freedom?” he said.

My wife has informed me she saw a drone flying in the state of Michigan last summer. Why I do not know, but I don't think the area was less than 100 miles from the nearest international border. What it was doing, I don't know. I have been on military bases where UAVs have been tested and we have seen some interesting things while (actually) fishing on the base.

Consider the how best to get a around the laws .Use a civilian Saudi contractor operating a Predator controlled out of Pakistan over American airspace . Operate with some black funds and your good to go. No remorse, no worries about the pesky American constitution.

I know my tinfoil hat probably makes my ....... but the fact that "they" are even considering such ideas is reason enough to me to discuss it? A local sheriff department has had drones since last October. I know there are many legitimate uses for drones; searching for lost children, finding pot farms, and last week while visiting a friends place he told me the local appraisal district was considering using them to "count cows" for ag exemptions.

That said, like gun control and other incursions of our rights, if you give them an inch.....

Yeah, it's not like they can fit an Elephant Cage or a Collins 390A in the drone.LOL!!! The new stuff is creepily good though.


For people wondering what the heck an "elephant cage" is....
