"I'm surprised the judge made this ruling. Since isn't it up to the guy whom shot down the drone to prove the pilot of the drone was taking pictures (thereby creating justification to use a firearm)?"
Trespassing, ever hear of it. He could have shot a punk. He could have shot anyone but a cop, fireman or mailman. This is a mechanical device. Hell if you park a car on my property I betcha I get away with breaking all the windows. The olman used to shoot out the radiator when that happened. A buddy of mine used to slash the tires.
Trespassing would mean walking over to the individual holding the remote and saying 'Could you please fly that somewhere else?". Using a firearm is well beyond excessive. Did the guy have 'No Trespassing' signs on his property? No. Likewise, what did the drone touch as it flew overhead? Nothing. Since there are no laws establishing a property owner's airspace; what did the drone violate?
Likewise you behave in an irrational manner; I as your neighbor could have a judge remove the firearm from you on the grounds of your reckless endangerment towards others. Likewise, it would not take long before the gun controllers picked up your actions and made you the poster boy for better gun laws. Behaving like a child only gets you so far. When you own a firearm, the exception is you'll behave like an adult. One whom...FOLLOWS THE LAW! That means you would walk over to me, and ask not to have the drone fly over or near your house. I would say "Sure, that's reasonable; I'll fly it out of there right now". That's how adults handle problems. If you need a gun to handle a problem like this one; its fair to say you shouldn't have a gun! Your neither intelligent or mature to handle one properly.

Too fucking bad. If it passes my property line it is fair game.
An then get sued in civil court for damages. You'll lose, and pay the damages. Then more people will fly drones over your house. In fact, they'll fly them in such a way as to appear over your property because of height. When you shoot, its shooting on to someone else's property and airspace. You just violated the law Mr. 'Honest-And-Law-Abiding' gun owner. The drone operate will have the GPS map to show to the judge their craft never flew over your property. Again your just helping the gun controllers convince more people to pass firearm laws.

Y'know Amazon is working toward a drone based delivery system. I think that is going to cause a hell of alot of problems.
That is why we have the FAA figure out initial laws. After that, each state will have to develop laws with regards to drones. For private and commercial usage (i.e. carrying a pizza). Shoot down a corporation's drone; let us all know how much 'fun' it is dealing with corporate lawyers fucking you over every other day for years on end....

Shit, you can get your own drones and have drone wars. Now there's a sport for the 21st century.
They already do. Once upon a time, they would have naval fights with R/C Battleships. Arm them with BBs and try to sink the other guy's ship. There are youtube videos about it. Pretty funny stuff. Drones tend to be much more agile and quick then a six foot long battleship. If the Drone's controller understood the guy was trying to shoot at it; he could have easily avoided the attack.
Mounting a range weapon on a drone is easy. Its designing a system that handles recoil so the drone isn't blown feet away. FPS Russia used such a device on one of his posts.
An why a drone operator handles just one drone right now; its not science fiction to realize that the person could handle dozens in just five years. Yes, one drone operator handling a dozen craft at once. Most of them are simply operating on a well programmed system to handle problems on their own.
