James Comer: People can use their 'Second Amendment capabilities' to shoot down drones

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said his constituents would use their "Second Amendment capabilities" to shoot down drones flying in Kentucky.

During a Monday interview on Newsmax, host Chris Salcedo told Comer, with no evidence, that "incompetent boobs in charge of the United States" may have allowed a nuclear device into the country.

"And that's what these drones are searching for," Salcedo speculated.

"Well, it's very possible and that's the rumor that's floating around Washington, but no one in Congress knows and it's another testament to the incompetence of the Biden administration," Comer agreed. "I will tell you, if they start flying drones over my district in Kentucky, if people have the ability to reach those drones with their Second Amendment capabilities, those drones are going to be removed from the air."

Salcedo argued that if the drones were searching for a nuclear device, President Joe Biden's administration "would want to hide it until President Trump takes office, and then they can try to blame him for it."

Under federal law, it is illegal to shoot at an aircraft and can be punished with up to 20 years in prison.

"Firing a weapon at what a person perceives to be a drone is a terrible idea for myriad reasons," former prosecutor Andrew Stengel told CNN. "One of which is because there could be serious criminal consequences."
