Your statements about the FAA are based on the logical fallacy that just because the FAA regulates that airspace and does not expressly prohibit a particular activity, you are entitled to perform that activity without breaking other laws. Flying over a house shooting bullets into it may or may not violate federal law promulgated by the FAA, but it sure as hell violates state law against attempted murder or wanton endangerment. That the FAA regulates airspace does not preempt states from enacting laws regarding activities performed in that airspace.

As I said, if I see one in my backyard, it's toast. And if they sue me for damages, I'll countersue. I'm pretty sure what a jury of my peers will decide.
