We actually had Chinese drones fly over the entire nation - and we did - nothing.
So I guess we can fly drones armed with bombs anywhere we want - and - they're safe from being eliminated?

My thoughts exactly if I see a drone hovering over my home it will be getting some 00 buck shot
We did? I've seen reports about Vandenberg being "droned" but the entire US, don't think so or are you counting those balloons?
Who said that?
To-MAY-to. They were spying. And the payload they carried wasn't paltry.

You're not taking down an actual UAS with small arms....it's too high and small

That's a thought that never occurred to me. I can see where it might work though.

Just heard something about that...a mother ship off the coast launching them?? Think it was a R Rep from New Jersey that was saying this to Harris Faulkner on Outnumbered? Will check into this later, sounds farfetched to me..
Yesterday, NorthJersey.com ran a story headlined, “FBI to frustrated Congress: 'We just don't know' who is behind mystery drone flights in NJ.” At Monday’s hearing, U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-Tx) asked, "You're telling me we don't even know what the hell these drones in New Jersey are?" FBI’s Critical Incident Response Director: “That's correct.”
CLIP: FBI’s Assistant Director of Incident Response tells Congress the drones have baffled the agency (1:50).
Representative Gonzalez responded, “That’s crazy! That’s madness!” He added, obviously a man in the throes of no little frustration with a feckless bureaucrat feigning impotence, “Sometimes I feel like I'm in the 'Twilight Zone' up here!”
Assistant FBI Director Wheeler and representatives from Customs and Border Patrol and the DOJ were called to testify about the drone invasion before the House subcommittees on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement and Intelligence, and Transportation and Maritime Security.
AD Wheeler deployed the Bureau’s infamous word salad weapon, taking 40 words to say only that there’s an active investigation. “The bureau is actively investigating the unexplained sighting of drone activity over that part of New Jersey, including proximity to sensitive sites and areas of concern,” he said, adding the negative for further strategic ambiguity, “We do not attribute that to any individual or group yet. I don't have an answer of who's responsible, one or more people that are responsible, but we're actively investigating.”
When another Representative asked whether the public is at risk, Wheeler shrugged. “We just don't know. And that's the concerning part of it.” You don’t say.
Curiously, New Jersey Representative Chris Smith reported a fleet of drones coming from the ocean. “One of the Sheriff’s officers two nights ago saw 50 drones come in off the ocean, right there," Smith explained. “We had a number of other people there including a commanding officer from the Coast Guard who said one of their 47-foot lifeboats was followed by between 12 and 30 of these drones, right behind them.”
Maybe it’s the Sea People.
The hearing ended lamely, trailing off without any climax or resolution. The FBI remains baffled. They have no plan. They are hoping the public can tell them what’s going on. I’m thinking about calling the tipline and reporting that one of the drones contains the names of 40 as-yet-unarrested January 6th suspects. Maybe that would do it?
I have another idea. Let’s offer $10K to anyone who can capture one of the drones. C&C could raise that amount in about ten minutes. Who’s with me? If you guys like the idea, I’ll make the offer today. Let me know in the comments.
What ideas do you have as to how to encourage the FBI to stop harassing anti-abortion activists and catch one of these mystery drones?

Can someone explain how big a "giant" drone is? And how do we know how big these are if all we see are lights? The largest readily available drone I can find is the GRiff 300. Can lift 500lbs, but duration is pretty limited. And unless you mean a toy car, no, its not the size of a car.
Yes, but not safely.
