Another brilliant idea by the Teabaggers. "Let's shoot down the drones!"

Courtesy of The Daily Caller: 

The tiny town of Deer Trail, Colo. — barely more than a wide spot on Interstate 70 about 55 miles east of Denver, population 546 — is considering an ordinance that would authorize licensed bounty hunters to shoot down unmanned aircraft violating its “sovereign airspace.” 

A six-page petition circulated by a resident says that the threat of surveillance from drones — regardless of who is piloting them — is a threat to “traditional American ideas of Liberty and Freedom” enjoyed by Deer Trail’s “ranchers, farmers, cowboys and Indians, as well as contemporary citizens.” 

Therefore, drone incursions are to be seen as acts of war. 

According to the proposed ordinance, which will be considered by the town council at its next meeting on Aug. 6, prospective bounty hunters can get a one-year drone-hunting license for $25. 

Proposed bounties will be $25 for those turning in the wings or fuselage of downed aircraft and $100 for mostly intact vehicles. To collect the bounty, the wreckage must have “markings, and configuration … consistent with those used by the United States federal government.” 

Such “trophies” then become the property of Deer Trail. 

It would seem to me that it is only a hop, skip, and a jump from  firing on unmanned drones to firing upon Federal agents investigating crime in your town. I mean what would these "licensed bounty hunters" do if the Feds came to arrest them for destroying government property?

Now I am not sure what kind of drones the government might use domestically, but the 10 MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aircraft that we use overseas costs over 12 million dollars.

Somehow I think the Federal government would not take kindly to having one shot out of the sky by a bunch of morons looking to collect a $25.00 bounty. Nor by the way do I think that is likely possible.

This is just another example of rednecks believing that their little popguns can stand up to the might of the Federal government, when in fact if they were to engage in an act of aggression they be overwhelmed and locked away before they could even say "Obama's a Muslim Socialist."

(P.S. By the way it is blogger etiquette to link to the Daily Caller because that is where I got this article, but do not feel you need to give them any clicks. I cut and pasted the interesting part, and besides, they're are Right Wing assholes.)

  1. O/T but so fucking funny! Gryphen check out Baldy's next speaking gig! The jokes just write themselves on this one!

    Sarah will be a guest speaker at a farmer's event in Baltic, SD on Thursday, July 25th. From the website:

    "Our goal with the Field Day is to create a one-day event where you can learn more about how to raise better crops by hearing from a host of expert guest speakers, seeing new technologies in the field, participating in hands-on demonstrations, and visiting with other top farmers from around the country... Even if you have attended our Field Day in the past, you won’t want to miss this one as I believe we have our best lineup of speakers including Sarah Palin."

    You gotta go to the website and see the "round up of activities" including....

    "Kid’s Area complete with games, inflatables, and other entertainment."

    Baldy and her "inflatables" will be in the Kid's Area! LMAO!!!

      I noticed that the venue is an annual event, put on by Brian and Darren Hefty, 2 local seed (soybeans, corn, etc.)farmers. All of the sessions are directed to production, crop yields, estate planning, with some health screenings offered ($$)on the side. What could Baldy possibly have to say?

      One of the bots at the Asylum posted this from the same event last year...

      "Last year the guest speakers had two 10 minute speeches... one in the lunch tent and the other speech in the lunch shed

      from last years schedule:
      11:30 – 11:40 am – General Wesley Clark speaks at Lunch Tent. Teresa Scanlan speaks at Lunch Shed.
      11:50 am – Noon – Teresa Scanlan speaks at Lunch Tent. General Wesley Clark speaks at Lunch Shed."

      Did you see that? "General Wesley Clark"...hmmm...that name is hecka familiar....isn't that the old fart that hosted the show that the Toad was playing tin soldier on?

      So I guess Baldy will be speaking in the "lunch tent"....

      BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a stupid bitch!

    The government should put a law into place that anyone shooting down one of these government aircraft will be prosecuted, and made to pay back the cost. This sounds like a Ted Nugent idea.

  8. Let's just say they are able to shoot down a $12 million dollar aircraft and it happens to kill a whole bunch of people on the ground...oh, wait, these idiots obviously don't think past their tiny little gun. Unfortunately, once they realize that shooting down a drone may be next to impossible, they may just decide to go after other government property and or employees. And they will be lauded as heroes, just like that moron that killed Dr. Tiller.

      Here's another scenario: suppose they bring it down, and this causes a small fire that then turns into a wild forest fire. They are absolutely incapable of thinking even one step ahead of themselves, let alone two or three steps ahead. Does the combination of sugar, junk food, GMOs, hate radio, Fox News, and sedentary living cause this kind of brain malfunction?

  11. Oh, for fun take a look at the entire text of this moronic ordinance: http://www.deertrailcolorado.c...

    It is chock full of contradictory provisions and pure stupidity such as (emphasis added):

    iv. In no case, shall a vehicle that is clearly marked or otherwise identified as belonging to a law-enforcement agency be engaged. However, if the latter vehicle contains the characteristics of an unmanned aerial vehicle heretofore mentioned, it may be engaged regardless of its markings.

    c. All unmanned aerial vehicles (hereinafter referred to as "trophies") and parts presented to and accepted by the Town of Deer Trail for purposes of receiving the listed bounties, shall become the property of the Town of Deer Trail.

    Really? Confiscate items that belong to every citizen of the United States and declare them to be the property only of the citizens of Deer Trail?

    I wish they realized how little interest anyone has in them or their crappy little town. They even bore themselves. They haven't updated their web site since 2011 and the most interesting picture they could come up with to put on their home page was a water tower.

    You have to wonder if these IDIOTS have any idea of the shitstorm of death they would get from the US Armed forces is somebody actually shot down a drone.

    That is likely an act of terror, a federal felony, and the perpetrators would not have a bright future in a SuperMax prison

    I don't think I like the idea of drones flying around, but I guarantee that anyone caught shooting one down (on purpose) is going to be spending some significant time in the Federal Pen.

      Rod Blagojevich is spending 14 years in the Federal Prison in Littleton,Colorado for being a blithering idiot and a narcissist. But he didn't destroy federal government property or shoot down an aircraft. These people are out of their minds.

    I live about 20 miles from Deer Trail. It has been a haven for malitia activities for years. They are waiting for the black helicopters and tanks to come down main street and take their guns! They had a hamster-powered radio station back in the 90's selling all kinds of survival packages....guns, water, gas tanks, seed packets, First Aid kits, one-year supply of food and MRI's for a family of four portions. They had shooting ranges and pow-wows on the weekends at member ranches. Someone blew up their radio antenna and they kind of went underground when cops started investigating. They have been relatively quiet for a few years, but as we have all observed, the T-baggers have brought them out of their closet! They have big signs in their fields protesting taxes, Obummer, Obummercare, big "Don't Tread on Me" flags hanging above the US flag. Their kids are home schooled. They have taken over the town hall. Deer Trail held the first ever rodeo. People will soon forget about that distinctive honor. Planes arriving at DIA from the southeast fly over them. From the ground, a 747 may look like a done is going right over them. Guess they are unaware the drones are virtually silent but a drunk coming out of their bar at night would only see some flashing lights. God help the people in those planes if one of those idiots think they can pick up $25 bounty for shooting that sucker down! They can come back to the bar tomorrow night and the drinks will be on him! We are not dealing with Rhodes Scholars here! Reminds me of Scheaffer Cox of the AIP bunch. My ex-son-in-law was one of them in the 90's! Gin-u-wine psychopath! As was his mother, father and brother! They taped the radio shows during the day and sat and listened to them at night when the hamster went to bed. They would get their marching orders from the radio. They hoarded guns, water, pallets of dried food, seeds, first aid kits, 2 1000 gal gas tanks, night goggles, bomb-making books, binoculars, gun scopes, etc, etc, etc. in the their basement and woods. Deer Trail has many of the wackiest of wackiest as citizens. Not everyone is of this ilk, but they have been invaded. Have the feeling the CBI will be making some calls to some of the locals. The ex- SIL is in Texas so will fit in real well down there too!

    OT

    Uber-conservative Virginia goobernatorial candidate Dirk "Diggler" Coochienelli is proposing legislation to outlaw oral sex between consenting adults.

    Before you knee-jerk libruls on this defunct blog get your panties in a twist - and you know you want to - consider this: his proposal includes a shift of all law enforcement resources from upholding current - but soon to be eliminated - gun laws towards an all out assault on oral sex.

    Coochinelli, who prefers the nickname "Cooch", "Coochie" or "Douchenozzle" predicts more than 1,000,000 highly trained, highly paid law enforcement officers - called "peepers" - will fan across the country - or Virginia - with high tech surveillance equipment to detect, document, detain, arrest, prosecute, humiliate and punish all tongue twisting perpetrators, not necessarily in that order.

    The good news is that this effort to eradicate the oral arts will be paid for entirely by selling memberships to state-run pornography sites which will stream the evidence videos to oral aficionados around the world.

    At a press conference today, Cooch predicted "From my lips to God's ear, if we all work together we can lick this disgusting practice in our lifetimes".

    When asked if practice made perfect, the candidate declined to answer.

    Pssst ... Stooooooooopid 'baggers! What goes up must come down - so what happens when your bullet falls or ricochets off the drone and hurt someone (with luck,'it'll only be you, or another 'bagger). Methinks Deerfuck Trail might be held liable.

    I would expect a drone may have enough of a range to obliterate the entire area before anyone can spot one with a typical gun site. Do they have a "Plan B"?
