[I am unable to post on a regular basis, but will do so whenever the opportunity presents, and there is motive.]
This, folks, this is motive.
I’ve said it before: Contrary to the claim that there would always be one, there is in fact no longer an England, only an island off the coast of France.
The former bulldogs have so degraded themselves that they no longer trust themselves with guns, replica guns, toy guns, kitchen knives, folding knives, glass beer mugs, fire extinguishers, even laughter. References? Look ‘em up your self, I’ve had a queasy stomach the last few days.
While you’re at it, look up their skyrocketing violent crime rate, and remember: Her Maj’s cops jigger the stats to make them look as low as possible, and even so they can no longer hide the fact that Sarah Brady’s Paradise is becoming a violent hellhole.
Now this: even writing about guns is so wicked, that you can simply be disappeared for doing so.
Here’s the story of Phil Luty, who is semi-famous amongst the self-reliant for having published, in print and on the web, several manuals on how to manufacture “expedient firearms” and ammunition — that is, how to make your own guns from hardware store parts without fancy machine tools.
He was put in prison on a four-year sentence, extended to five by short-circuiting his parole hearings. “This, in the same legal system that fails to send offenders of criminal assaults to jail for a single day, instead issuing a ‘caution’ (similar to a traffic ticket) to someone who has actually committed violence. ”
Once free, Luty returned to the evil practice of explaining how to be free, this time on the Internet.
Luty’s book had been selling modestly well and received positive reviews. The public had clamored for more. While not about to perform the same stunt and get thrown back into prison, Phil was none-the-less still committed to promoting what a fallacy the premise of gun control was. The internet was now the new media, and Phil took to it readily. He started a website and forum dedicated to the subject of home-manufacture of guns, called www.thehomegunsmith.com .
The website became very active, mostly with American hobbyists looking to learn or to share info. But it also attracted an international audience, with curious persons checking it out from far flung places like Dubai, Madagascar and Australia. Not only was Phil still tweaking Parliament’s nose, but, in their eyes, practically spitting in their face.
Showing how they have never truly evolved from their authoritarian roots, English authorities, in February of 2005 raided 3 Luty family residences, including the home of his brother and his father’s house, apparently looking for prohibited firearms. Books, computers, CDs and all manner of other items were seized, never to be returned. Ed and John Luty (Phil’s father and brother) were arrested and charged with “Conspiracy to Manufacture Firearms”. Phil himself was not arrested or charged, and it seems the actions taken against his family were meant as an extortive tool to get him to shut his website down. It didn’t work, and Phil’s website gained even more notoriety and increased in traffic. His father and brother were let out on bond and the charges against them remained dormant and unprosecuted. (Because there was no evidence?!)
And so there it remained. Phil continued conversing with persons around the globe interested in the subject. Persons talked with each other and shared information via his website. A few months ago, Phil was diagnosed with cancer. It seemed he might of necessity begin to scale back his activism and perhaps have to take a break from running the website.
But recently, several people around the world who were in semi-regular correspondence with Phil (we are a tight-knit community) noticed he was not around and not responding to his emails. Upon checking www.thehomegunsmith.com it was noticed to be down. After some more time went by, people became concerned.
Then came word from a mutual friend in Portugal. A veteran of their armed forces, he had lived for many years here in Arizona, working as a gunsmith, and maintained an interest in the manufacture of guns. He was one of the regular visitors to Phil’s website. His home had been raided by a task force of Interpol and the Portuguese equivalent of the FBI’s counter-terrorism squad. They had specifically been asked to do so by Britain’s MI-5 as part of an investigation surrounding Mr. Luty. Some cyber-sleuthing among webmasters revealed that an RKBA-friendly (Right to Keep and Bear Arms) web guru had been contacted by Phil via his brother and asked to take the website down and wipe it. Phil had once again been scooped up by the British authorities, but under the newly modified anti-terror laws, had been able to do so without notifying anyone for weeks. After being pressured by friends and family, the Metropolitan Police finally only admit that Phil was arrested (on a date still not revealed) for “incitement of crimes” via his website, but would not provide a specific charge against him or any examples of what crimes or incitements to which they were referring.
At this time, there is no address to which to send positive correspondence to Phil, as the police who hold him refuse to say anything more, including where he is held. Phil’s brother John is keeping his head low, fearing the never dismissed charges brought against him in 2005 might be brought back to life if he were to publicly advocate and agitate for Phil. It is even unclear at this point if further proceeds from sales of Phil’s book via the publisher will now ever reach him again.
In short,…the British government has wanted for a very long time to simply take Phillip Luty and drop him down a deep dark hole. It seems they may have finally succeeded. In so doing, Phil has succeeded also. He has succeeded in showing us here in the U.S. that what defenders of the 2nd Amendment have been saying is true “If they succeed in repealing the 2nd Amendment, the 1st Amendment is next.”
Please note that the Island thugs are such cowards they extend their reach even beyond their shores.
Please note that while Her Maj’s government bends over backwards to give real terrorists free reign to impose their way of life on her subjects, going so far as to release the Lockerbie bomber on “humanitarian” grounds, the “anti-terrorism” laws are used to hide the arrest and imprisonment of a True Brit for merely given his fellow patriots the information to build the tools they need to defend themselves. Not the tools, mind, just the information is enough.
Please note that England is dead to me.
p.s. I am proud to say that I paid for and downloaded a copy of the 9mm submachine “expedient firearm” manual.
