With what? The folks in New Jersey gave it a try, and totally failed. No surprise. Very hard to hit a moving aerial target. Or do you want to take it out with a Singer missile and create wreckage and a hazard to anyone beneath? No problem in a battlefield, but a bad deal in a suburb or downtown in a city. This is an ideal application for a ground-based mobile laser system (currently under test), but we have only a handful at the moment. And you still have the problem that, left alone, they are a harmless pest, but shot down, they could kill someone. It's the same reason that police don't like to prosecute shoot-outs in large crowds: risk of collateral casualties.
