Philip Luty was the creator of a website on, among other things,

homemade firearms. So far as I know he never actually built one , just wrote about it. (I stand corrected: He built and test fired the gun for the original book which Paladin publish.

He got five years in a high security prison for that one, stuck in with the murderers and hardened violent crimminals, I don't think they even let him attend his mother's funeral) For which the British government and bastard excuses for lawmen harassed him- actually jailed him a couple of times- for daring to do.

I just got word he died. His website is being kept in service here in the US, well worth browsing through.

Here in Ireland, you'd actually get about a quarter of that time for actually killing someone and disposing of the body. Luty never harmed anyone, or even threatened to.

His subsequent harassment, and imprisonment and the harassment of his family friends and customers of his e-books was gratuitous politically motivated bullying worthy of the Norks.

I guess his first book hit the spot it was intended to;

Showing the futility of gun bans.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I admired him for having more courage than 99.99% of other Englishmen, to stand up for himself and show what a mockery the laws are. It's a sad day for real gun owners.
