I realize you’ve clearly never fired a gun in your life, and that’s what led you to ask such an embarrassingly stupid question and think you sounded witty while doing it, but I’ll humor you with an actual answer, so you won’t look like such an utter imbecile in the future:

Shooting at a moving target overhead is best accomplished with a shotgun, which fires a cloud of small metal pellets, and is effective at hitting objects with reasonable accuracy up to about 250 high and maybe 200 feet away. After that, the “cloud” of shot pellets dispersers too much and the pellets themselves start to lose velocity to the point where they don’t have enough speed to do damage.

A rifle, which fires a single bullet instead of a cloud of pellets, is more accurate for distances up to several hundred yards up/out, but the problem is, with a moving target, you will probably never be able to “lead” the target properly at an unknown range to hit it. And in the meantime, the bullet you fired at it and missed with IS going to come down somewhere, potentially damaging something or someone. And contrary to what you think, most gun owners are keenly aware of the dangers of firing a rifle bullet into the air at shallow angles, and wouldn’t shoot at something in the air with a rifle unless it was practically overhead and the shot was nearly vertical (because the bullet will reach zero velocity at apogee and then fall back down at about the terminal velocity of a hailstone). And that would be a pretty unlikely scenario.

A handgun would be totally useless due to lack of any accuracy at all, and the bullet losing energy very quickly after a few hundred yards.

Plus, these drones being sighted are enormous. They’re so large that a single hit by a rifle bullet or a dozen smaller shotgun pellets probably isn’t going to cause the type of damage that would bring it down immediately.





So that’s why gun owners aren’t shooting them down. Because they’re not nearly as stupid as you are.


Now go forth and be slightly better-informed and not looking like such an idiot.

My bet is that these are being flown locally, likely by some US-based org or agency

I heard a congresswoman saying they might be coming from ships.

She also said legislation would be required for the military to shoot them down. Our legislators should do that ASAP instead of trying to put lipstick on hegseth, Gabbard and Patel!

Why don’t the

Which congresswoman exactly?
We know you’re the one lying.

What the heck does that have to do with drones?

Get a grip man.

I genuinely don't understand why we haven't shot one down. An F-22 got its first kill when it downed a Chinese balloon in US airspace. Why haven't they scrambled to shoot down one of these numerous drones, particularly when they are flying over the very bases where F-22s are based? The debris alone would be extremely useful to figure out what these things are and where they are coming from.

I am baffled by the Biden Administration's non-response. This isn't Bigfoot or the LochNess monster. People are seeing these things. There is lots of video. And they are flying over national security areas. The brazenness of these drones suggests it's not a US Skunk Works research and development project. The Biden response is mystifying.

Hope so. Dealing strongly with stuff like this is partly why we elected him.


Don’t worry tho - I hope he’ll still make time to put you in a camp.

LOL such morons you MAGA are

It is clearly a nation state invading our airspace. They are trying to intimidate us. They should be immediately be subjected to the full military might of the US. What is the hell is Biden doing?

If it is an Iranian ship releasing them in international waters, send the USN to blow them all to smithereens or to commandeer the ship with brute force. They're trying to show they can enter our airspace to bomb our cities and kill our people with impunity. Blow them all up and respond with 10x severity.

Seriously! Where the hell are Biden and Harris? It’s clear they’ve completely checked out. We dodged a real bullet with her losing the election. The incompetence is scary !

News Flash -
There’s nothing incompetent what’s going on in this administration. It’s all according to plan.

THIS. Also, does anyone really believe at this point that Joe and his doodle vice president have been running this country at all over the past four years? If so, I've got a bridge to sale you and so does Obama, Jarrod and Brennan. Oh, let's throw Susan Rice in there just for shits and giggles.

Do you talk this stupid in public or just when you are anonymous?

They're in MD. This also follows last month where they saw them for 11 days in a row or whatever in VA over a military base.

Shoot these bastards down NOW.

In case anyone was doubting whether we are in WW3 now…

Well, the military type drones are only in Bowie so far. When they get to Potomac and McLean the Democrats will do something. Just watch.

Typical Democrats. Thanks a lot!

They are disrupting our digital infrastructure. The Biden administration will allow that.

So not ours.

Not foreign.

So aliens?

BS meter is through the roof. It gets increasingly unlikely they're not ours given hai they're disrupting the FAA and civilian air traffic. Aliens? Yeah right, they look man made. It has to be foreign then, there's no other possibility.
