Real threat

The Government Knows

The threat posed by weaponized and hostile-use drones is no longer theoretical. It is officially recognized at the federal level.

Through FEMA’s Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), millions of dollars have been allocated to state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies specifically for counter-UAS (drone defense) capabilities. These grants fund detection systems, mitigation tools, training programs, and response planning for drone-based threats to public safety, critical infrastructure, and mass gatherings.

This funding exists for one simple reason:
Unmanned aerial systems have already been used for surveillance, smuggling, disruption, and direct attacks. Federal agencies acknowledge that commercially available drones can be easily modified, weaponized, or used to deliver harmful payloads. The risk is real, documented, and ongoing.

Government preparedness programs are built on risk assessment, not speculation. When federal resources are dedicated to a specific threat category, it reflects verified intelligence, operational experience, and real-world incidents — not hypothetical concerns.

At the same time, public safety is not limited to government responsibility alone. When authorities recognize a legitimate and persistent danger, it reinforces a basic principle: individuals, businesses, and communities have the right to protect themselves from credible threats within the bounds of the law.

Defensive readiness is not paranoia.
It is acknowledgment of reality.
