The promotional video for a surveillance drone now being purchased by law enforcement bodies across the country with the aid of DHS funding shows a UAV spying on a private gun sale, falsely depicting the scenario as a criminal activity.

It is important to emphasize that private firearms sales without background checks are not illegal under current law in the United States, although gun control advocates are feverishly trying to change that with new legislation. The government claims that 40 per cent of all gun sales are conducted without background checks.

The clip is part of promo material for the Shadowhawk drone, a 50lb mini helicopter that can be fitted with an XREP taser with the ability to fire four barbed electrodes that can be shot to a distance of 100 feet, delivering “neuromuscular incapacitation” to the victim. The drone can travel at a top speed of 70MPH and can operate for 3.5 hours over land and sea. The drone, which is manufactured by Vanguard Defense Industries, can also be armed with 12-gauge shotguns and grenade launchers.

The company’s website notes that drones fitted with weapons are currently, “Not available to law enforcement,” although drone industry lobbyists are pushing for that to be changed.

The footage shows two men driving to meet clandestinely in a remote area, before they exit their vehicles and proceed to conduct a transaction for a handgun and a semi-automatic rifle, before driving off at high speed.

During the commentary over the clip, which features dramatic music, role players run the license plates of both vehicles before describing the transaction as the spy drone hovers above.

Throughout the clip, the private sale of firearms is demonized by clearly being associated with illegal and clandestine activity, despite the fact that it is completely lawful to sell firearms privately with no paperwork or background checks, including at gun shows.

Infowars should rename their site to paranoia wars or maybe scare tactics wars.

Felony prohibited transfer.

You are reported.

1 Open your trunk and lift up the trunk liner that covers the spare tire inset. There may be a wingnut that you will need to turn to remove the tire and cover. If so, twist it counter-clockwise and remove it.

2 Unscrew the trunk's still plate (where the tire sits) by unscrewing the cargo net holders. The cargo net holders are located at the four corners of the trunk. If you do not have a cargo net, there will still be some sort of screw to remove the plate. Look for screws at the corners and sides of the trunk.

3 Lift the still plate and set it aside. Grab the top of the right side of the interior trunk shell (the carpeted lining) and pull it back to access the OnStar device attached to the inside of the trunk.

4 Unplug the three cords connected to the OnStar "box" that is mounted on the inside panel of the trunk. It is a metal box and will usually have a label on it that says "OnStar."

5 Replace your shell, still plate, spare tire and the cover for the spare tire. Your OnStar system is now disabled and your privacy is restored. Keep this information handy in case you need to reactivate the system or sell the vehicle.
