Colorado Town Considers Drone-Hunting Licenses

Posted by Soulskill on from the heck-yeah-'murica dept.

New submitter ciotog writes "The town of Deer Trail, Colorado (population approximately 550) will be voting next month on whether to offer licenses for drone hunting. Furthermore, a bounty of $100 for each drone shot down will be offered (upon offering proof that the drone was potentially owned by the U.S. government). Is this just a fun gimmick, or a serious commentary on an increasingly surveillance based society?"

    Does that mean Texas is full of Help Me People?

    Yes. They're called state Republican legislators, and they clearly need help. :P

    So you're saying there's a market for cannons that shoot shotguns which in turn has a prox sensor to fire and take out drones?
