See a Drone? Just Shoot it Down, Says Congressman

Solving this problem the American way!

In recent weeks, Americans have been transfixed by a number of drones that have been spotted over New Jersey and neighboring states. While theories about what exactly these drones are vary (planes? stars? aliens?), no one has proposed a solution to the problem — until now.

Seeing all of these drones, Congressman Chris Smith says that he’s introducing a bill that would allow local law enforcement to, uh, “take care” of drones whenever they’re spotted. How would they do that? You already know — just shoot those alien buggers down!

It’s an interesting idea, but I feel like it’s going to result in a lot of hobbyists saying a quick goodbye to their DJIs.
