<i>this line of reasoning seems like the least of our concerns in a discussion centered around firing ammunition into the clouds</i><p>Well you&#x27;d use birdshot, obviously. How does the author think people hunt ducks?

People can no longer claim that the BMG cartridge has no legitimate hunting use. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_BMG" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;.50_BMG</a>

I&#x27;m ok with this as long as they don&#x27;t waste this as a trophy and properly clean and eat the drone.<p>Otherwise imagine all the wasted money they could cause.

Okay, now I kind of want them to make it an annual event where we go fly some cheap throw-away styrofoam drones[1] and everybody gets together and shoots them out of the sky like skeet. You, know, safely, with minimal drunkenness. Anyway, it would be great if it became so popular that the FAA had no choice but to issue a TFR over the town for the event.<p>[1] like the kind you make for RC dogfighting

When I saw the headline I thought people wanted to hunt <i>using</i> drones. I guess that will be next year.

Let&#x27;s hope this becomes a felony when the drone laws are updated in 2015.
