Colorado town considers bounty on shot down drones

-
I think that all these licenses and things like boat registration is just another tax.

Oh, no. They can't be.... The government says that they are only for "reconnasance"....


Are you saying that our government is lying to us???
 
Might as well sell hunting licenses for shooting space aliens while they're at it.

In Idaho, "drug dealers" are required by law to buy a pot tax stamp in order to illegally grow pot.

Of course what this really boils down to is that if you get caught, the state can try to collect "unpaid state taxes" that "would have been due."
 
And pot smoking is legal there. :cheers:


So you will have paranoid, stoned people out there shooting into the air.... Now that's America!!! :mrgreen:

The sad thing is, i can almost guarantee that weed is not involved. These are completely sober nuts shooting into the sky.


Idiocracy is coming true. :(
 
Kinda contradicts what your state lawmakers did regarding gun control a few months ago! Sounds like a divided state to me!!! I am WAY pro 2nd amendment and hope you recall every one of those liberal bastards that are trying to take away your freedoms.

So, what do you do with the drone once you shoot it down? Drag it over on your neighbor's property to keep your butt out of the hot seat???? LOLOLOLOL!

reasonable regulations are not "taking away freedoms"

I'm so sick of this "they're gonna take our guns nonsense". Don't like laws? okay, come to the table with something viable. Because coming to the table with irrational nonsense won't fix anything.
 
Just enforce the laws that exist. Quit trying to add more gun regulations.

Nope, you take it to city hall and collect your $100.00 reward.

I can barely keep up with strange circle of logic, but maybe you need to "get your head right" first to understand........

Think what you want homeslice! If you think the cuurent "regime" has your best interests in mind, I hate to inform you that you have had the proverbial wool pulled over your eyes! The dumba$$ politicians don't want to enforce what is already on the books, so hey, let's pass more laws instead of enforcing what is already there!
 
I don't understand gun control laws.

Those who obey the law, follow it.

The ones who go on murder sprees could care less, so you tell me who is being moderated, by that logic?

I'm pretty liberal when it comes to my views on life, but I approach everything with neutral logic and think for myself. What do they need recon in friendly air, for? That **** costs money and I'm not convinced they are spending it for practice. Certainly not in this economy. They need to respect private life and they don't. Don't like guns? I don't either, but I'm not going to give a jackass the advantage. Smart people believe in the 2nd amendment, too.

The truth is, I'm not for violence, I think it sucks and I think Mike Judge is God for making Idiocracy, and while I'm not going to go out of my way to chase Trayvon and gun him down, like some idiots, I'm not going to stand by and let people trample my daily life. If it encroaches my life, I'll do something and make a stand. Good for the people there, for refuting total BS. If nobody stands up to higher powers when they are wrong, we'd live under Adolph's rule, circa 1942.

regime? pullease, the more you make our medicore president into the "boogie man" the quicker it becomes apparent that you just follow the the talking heads(likely faux news) and are more in dark than most.

Here's the reality of the situation:

Gun regulations become introduced by politicians solely because people want changes and the politicians want to keep their job.(no right/wrong basis, only a though of "i'll get to keep being a societal leech if i appease them")

Now said laws may have a good basis or a bad basis. But the opposition to those laws is never made rationally. Just unintelligible nut jobs screaming about infringement. Well guess what? As a society, we have a social contract where parts of our rights can be regulated for the good of the whole. For example, you can't falsely scream fire in a movie theater.(do we scream about the 1st amendment violation, or recognize the merit?)

If it weren't for the nuts and the D-bag NRA, we could have rational discussion on the topic. Maybe do real research into the causes of gun violence(something the NRA got banned btw) and then the laws wouldn't sometimes seem outlandish.

PS, even more off topic if someone knows, a lot of new guns you buy come with an NRA membership for free. Can you opt out of giving those nuts a section of my money, or do i just need to buy used?
 
Not sure. I'm not on either side of the fence, when it comes to it, but your point about a politician just doing the puppet motions is all I could rationalize, too, when it comes to the new gun control laws.

This state is EXTREMELY divided, in nearly every way. I hear a lot of contrast, when I talk to different people about their views.

Without making this a political thing, I disagree with the NRA's views and usually/ likely will disagree with any extreme view.

I know that several sherriffs and county judges stated that they will not enforce the new laws. I'm opposed to the new laws, only because I don't think it will keep everyone from crying and shooting up another school, movie theater or black kid gangsta wanna be with skittles, by way of a wanna be cop.

I think we have to approach the situation, yeah, but this set of laws isn't the real answer. It's a knee jerk. And unfortunately, the media is giving idiots a lot of attention, which is a bad thing. I think we could do without the over sensitization of turning criminals into rock stars. I hate the news.

That's the thing, because of lobbyists(like the NRA), we don't have the information to know if laws are the answer or not. Until we can do research(that should've been done 20yrs ago) its pretty much a crapshoot.

I'm a life time member of the NRA - are you calling me a D-bag? Maybe you should snort a couple more lines of your magnum dust to find reality again!!! Or at least what you consider "reality"!!!!!My guess is that you are probably all for the legalization of marijuana too, right? And gay marriages? And everything else the liberal agenda offers you on a plate because it's "free"????

The NRA at least believes in the Constitution and supports it. More than I can say for our President and his "Cabinet". You can interpret it the way you want to, I will interpret it the way I see it.

I personally don't want anything from the government - the less the better. If you want their hand out, fine, but don't cry when the glory ride stops abruptly and you don't have any money any more!!!

I guess that depends, have you ever attended an NRA rally in a town days after a shooting??(and yes, i'd have the same feelings about people holding anti-gun rallies days after tragedies.) Its a slimy D-bag move, and the NRA does it every time

Weed? I Don't smoke it, but its idiotic that its illegal. That's not a "liberal agenda", just based upon the fact of the matter.

Gay marriage? Again, not a liberal thing. In fact, i worry about a conservative getting into any political position of they feel that a civil rights and equality issue is a "liberal thing". The fact of the matter is, we live in a secular country. The very foundation is based in making laws that have no basis to any religious sect. And the bans on gay marriage are unconstitutional as long as government has its hands in people getting married(something i don't support btw)

and the whole "its a religious ceremony" doesnt will work for a variety of reasons. One of which given that someone like me(an open atheist) is able to get married, but gay people can't? kind of absurd. Anyhow moving on,

The NRA supports one amendment, and would happily let all the others go if they could keep the guns. Which is lunacy, look at other nations. Plenty of guns in the middle east, not a lot of free speech.

PS: 1. I'm not a liberal. 2. I find that if you subscribe strongly to one side or the other, you are part of the problem. Too many people draw party lines because it doesnt require critical thinking. 3. I take nothing from the govt. and am fairly critical of social welfare programs b/c abuse is so easy. 4. Hopefully all this will help you recognize how making generalizations(as you did about me) can make you look really foolish.
 
Steering this somewhat back on topic:

It surprises me at the lack of concern people seem to have with the level of surveillance that is going on in this country by our own government.

I know that people tend to shrug off any reference to "1984" but how many of you have actually read that book? It was fantasy back then, but look at where we are: the government taps our phones, taps our internet, flies surveillance drones overhead(helping farmers know when to water their crops..that was the horsh they gave as an excuse) and now it's been in the news that a city in California is recording the tag of EACH vehicle that enters and leaves the area. And believe me they aren't the only ones either.

I am far from a flake, but people ought to stop being such sheep, and cry foul about this BS.

Yep. Running eliminations with no time trials. Take a leak and adjust, if it's into the wind, from the get-go.

There are too many guns in the world, to stop people from going for it.

Although I think Chris Rock had more forsight than even he realized;

Maybe the problem is that w/ the Internet, privacy is kind of going away anyways.

Also, it's a minority of people who aren't upset by the NSA stuff.

Personally I have no issue with drones until someone tries to use them to enforce bs laws.

Strait out of Marx's little red book. I have never seen this social contract in the Constitution or the bill of rights. If you believe that you rights can be changed for the good of the whole, then you will have none. Do you know why you can't yell fire in a theater? Because when people buy a ticket to the show, they enter into a contact to see the show. You yelling fire brakes that contract to watch the show. What if it someone yelling fire is part of the show?
 
Drones aren't a part of any forward thinking plan, in the manner that they are being used, here.

My question is; why the secrecy, if it's for the "show"/ greater good?

The truth is, if they were doing it to serve the people, they would have no reason to keep it quiet. Their paid publicists, shooting for votes on a campaign would agree. If that were the case. They'd be flying billboards and selling model kits at Hobby Lobby. We aren't the enemy, so why hide? Hmm... California had an awful lot of blackouts when Enron was hard up for cash. Nobody seemed to step in, there, for quite some time. Plenty of car accidents without traffic lights, life lost, businesses closing doors, all for the "show". Nah. I'm betting there wa$ another rea$on for the blackout$.

I still haven't seen any 737 parts pulled from the side of the pentagon. Try and find anything, online or anywhere about it. To this day, that is the explanation, given, without showing results. Structure security? What does the lawn, scattered with 737 parts have to do with military strategy and secrecy to the security of the building? Why cover up a "737 engine" that is scaled down to be carried like a coffin, if it's just a jet engine? We've all seen smashed jet engines. No secret there.

I'm not buying what they are selling, because they have nothing to sell and still ask for my peace of mind. I reserve the right. Unfortunately for them, I have thoughts and rights.

I want to bag me a drone.

I'm thinkin' modern day belly tanker bonneville.

well that's a nice piece of completely wrong information. By all means, go yell fire in the theatre and see how the police react when you tell them its not a crime to break the contract of seeing a movie.

What you fail to understand is that people have been trampled to death in panic situations like a fire in a theater. So doing so puts people in danger under false pretenses.

Nothing i've said is Marxist at all. Its just a simple fact of a society that has differing cultures and ideals. Here i'll put it into a nice ease to grasp example:

Some forms of Santeria involve human sacrifice. This is a free country with constitutional basis that gives citizens the right to believe whatever they want. But a practicing Santerian(or whatever the followers would be called) cannot kill someone for their religion. Even if the "victim" is a willing participant.

The rights of that religious groups are infringed for the good of the people.

And with the guns, its not even an infringement, its an attempt to fix a problem without full grasp of what truly needs to be done.(thanks in part to the NRA)
