Cool...

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

Can you imagine 6 dudes with AR-15s, nothing fancy, responding that that threat? One wonders what might happen.

    If gta has taught me anything is that one well placed shot from a measly handgun can take down a chopper

    Even armored helicopters are very vulnerable, flying things cannot afford to be sturdy.

    Flying oppressors beware, you live on borrowed time. Tail section, fuel tank, tangling hazards (steel wire spool, fast unspooling from above)

    They made tge sky a weapon, take away the sky from everyone. Same with radios.
