        They saw a shooter climbing on a roof and were like: hah, that’s interesting. And now you’re telling me the use some high tech equipment to prevent assassination by drones. Riiiight.

        Get it going on a ballistic trajectory out of range of the target and then it doesn’t matter if it gets jammed.

            There is no report when you launch a drone, unlike when you fire a mortar. Also, flying a drone is a lot safer and more consistent than trying to fire and aim a homemade mortar.

          that is called a missile, not a drone. no consumer uav are doing what you are suggesting, and different uav respond to jamming in a huge variety of ways.

            I know most consumer drones land automatically if they lose connection. Anyone that is trying to raw dog a plot like this with an unmodified drone they pulled off the shelf from Best Buy is a special type of idiot.

          You’re right that it is a stationary target, probably doable by image recognition, even with GPS jamming. Still, bit more sophistication required than just strapping a grenade to a dji.

      For your typical loner right wing nutjob, guns are still way more accessible.
