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?"

    There's no good reason to allow a surveilance state, and I support any government entity that helps the populace fight back against it in such efforts.

    Well the DHS has purchased over a billion rounds of ammunition, plus lots of tanks and coffins, so they're ready to brutally put down an uprising.
