Rand Paul: If You Fly a Drone Over My House, I Will Shoot It Down With My Shotgun

[NACBA]

During the first-ever Snapchat interview with a member of the United States Senate, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told CNN that if a drone flyover like the one that occurred at the White House Monday were to happen at his home, he’d shoot it down.

"Drones should only be used according to the Constitution," Paul explained. "But if they fly over my house, they better beware. Because I’ve got a shotgun.”

The comment, spotted by Politico, was a snippet from Tuesday’s “historic,” but not-so-ephemeral, Snapchat interview with the Kentucky senator and potential 2016 presidential candidate. Paul, the son of three-time presidential aspirant Ron Paul, was Snapped a doodled-on picture of the White House with the text “DO YOU WANT TO LIVE HERE AFTER 2016?”

pffff

Destruction of federal property. Do not pass go, Do not collect $200 dollars. Plus I can't imagine they're very easy to see and/or keep track of. But yes, that was a good interview.

HA! The t.v. character Ron Swanson just did this exact thing during an episode of "Parks and Recreation".

It wasn't a government drone, though, it was a "Gryzzl" drone, a mock company of Google/Amazon.

He's the libertarian of the bunch. Season 7, episode 6 IIRC.

That Rand. He's so hip.

Noted, I just may need to arm my drone with 2 homemade hellfire missles then.

Orrr... Hijack the drone, land it, reverse engineer it, and then use the resulting clone to taunt the a$$fks in washington.
