That's even wilder to me, since you have several states where you are allowed to shoot anyone trespassing on your property, but a drone, who can record and video and infringe on your privacy is illegal?!
That's like prime capitalism. Human lives are worthless, but don't damage my property. What?
It's all about property rights here. You can always just make more people, right?
Yeah, that's fair. I think the main reasoning is that shooting something out of the air can cause it to crash on people or light stuff on fire. I also don't like the "stand your ground" and "castle doctrine" laws, so I think both shooting people and shooting drones should be illegal.
It's because it counts as an aircraft. Getting licenced to use your drone for anything more than "wooo, flyin mah drone" covers a lot of the same stuff a private pilot would know like reading the maps, airport landing procedure, and airspace. They treat it like an actual airplane. And you can't just start blasting at airplanes because they flew over your house. If it's doing more than just flying over it has to be addressed legally.
