Colorado town that will vote in October on a controversial ordinance to issue
hunting licenses to shoot down unmanned aircraft over the town has been flooded
with applications already and prompted the town to put a whimsical spin on the
plan. More than 1,000 people have sent Deer Trail Town Clerk Kim Oldfield $25
for the license, which, if legalized in a referendum by the 380 registered
voters in the town of 600, would give them the right to bring down a UAV over
the town.


Can we hunt them from the air also? The government has no business
spying on its own citizens with the UAVs, besides, they are a hazard to
air navigation. I don't want anything in the air with me that doesn't
also have a chance of dying if it collides with me. Just seems kind of
fair, doesn't it?
