"I didn't see 'US GOVT' on the drone anywhere"
seriously? Predator drones are becoming as iconic a representation of the US as Uncle Sam. They are not known for dropping water balloons.
"You consider that man a decent law abiding citizen?"
What is he doing that is illegal?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." -First Amendment to the Constitution

I say shoot them on sight , just to be safe. No sane person would carry a rifle around a grocery store. Only the insane and the criminally motivated. So, again, I say shoot them on sight, let their bodies rot in the streets as a message to other hell-bent gunners.

Maybe if a few of these jackasses get taken down maybe some of the others stop being such assholes.
Gun owners in general are cowards, one or two times should be enough to have them cowering under their bed.

As I've covered about 50% of the firearms I need, my buying habits have moved to fishing equipment.
