Now Brits Can Lose Their Gun Rights For Talking and Thinking About Guns
The Truth About Guns ^ | 06/12/18 | Dan Zimmerman

Posted on 06/12/2018 10:17:36 AM PDT by Simon Green

As PJ Media is reporting, “YouTuber Calum Long-Collins announced he would be effectively shutting down the channel EnglishShooting, a YouTube channel that racked up more than 15,000 subscribers and more than 12 million views in the past four years. Long-Collins said the police had marked his YouTube channel as a ‘forum of extremism,’ and that he had to ‘show the police that I am a fit character to own firearms within the U.K.'”

Here’s the video that Long-Collins made confessing his sins in a last ditch attempt to placate the British authoritarians authorities and convince them to let him keep his firearms.

We looked closely, but didn’t see any coded blinking or other signals — maybe a hidden pattern in the leaves behind him? — directed to the free world, indicating the level of duress he’s obviously under. Let us know if you spot something.

“Over the past two years, I’ve made significant efforts to change the direction of the channel, change the videos, and to change my own beliefs and views around firearms and firearm ownership,” the YouTuber said (emphasis added). “Unfortunately, I’ve failed to bring the channel and the videos to the standard that the police feel is adequate and I only have myself to blame for this.”

Long-Collins did manage to sneak out a sub rosa distress call in his final video. Note the lyrics in the background music:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=163&v=DLAG5eSce_U

These days it’s better just not to talk
Just watch the way you’re walking
Everybody watches what we do
Isn’t it strange never thought it would have been this way
Doesn’t matter what I say
‘Cause I know that nothing has changed

This is what the forces of civilian disarmament want to impose here and they work toward every single day. They hold up the UK and their exemplary record of strict gun control laws as a model to be emulated while gun rights supporters see what’s happened there as the cautionary tale that it is.

Not. One. More. Inch.

How about knife rights?

What if someone attacks you with a pointed stick?

I’m not sure Britain ever really was a “free” country.

once you bow down to tyrants there is no stopping them.

look up the fable (Aesop) of the lamb and the wolf drinking at the stream.

The Left everywhere needs to be defeated.

Bringing them down is even more important than confronting Islam because it is the Left that is importing and enabling Islam in our midst. Without them we can treat Islam as it needs to be treated. With them ne cannot respond to Islam without them undermining any effort.

They will either suffer political defeat at the hands of the Citizens and Subjects (as applicable) that they despise or they will be killed by Islam that they think they’ll be able to control.

There is no middle ground, no world in which they can have their power and not end up under Muslim sword because their ways lead to suicide, and so there is only one option allows the rest of us to live free.

The Left must be cast down and cast out of power.

Everywhere.

My Gawd, this is painful to watch.

If this is an example of British manhood then U.K is truly lost and serves only as a warning to Americans.

This is where being an ‘Subject’ versus being a “Citizen” starts and ends.

Pleading and abasement before an tyrannical government for rights we Americans take for granted every day.

This is your future the Democrats wish for you and is a fact of life in California, New York and many other ‘blue” states.

Vote or don’t but you have been warned.

From the link:

“I sent them .50 calibre shells called Raufoss rounds,” Logan says.

“The Americans used them to annihilate miles of Saddam Hussein's tanks in Iraq. I can't stress how powerful they are.

“These shells are armour piercing. They penetrate the vehicle they're fired at, then explode and ignite. They can incinerate everything and everybody inside."

So this sooper-dooper .50 BMG round will penetrate the armor of a T-55 and vaporize everything inside?

Rommel wishes he’d run up against the modern day UK.

The Muslims have picked up where the Nazis failed. They will win without firing a shot. Their army are colonizers.

“The Left everywhere needs to be defeated.”

Western Civilization was doomed the moment women were given voting rights. It really is that simple.

Everyday I am reminded about why my ancestors shot at them at Alamance and King’s Mountain.

My ancestors fought and lost the Battle of Preston. They were captured and brought to the New World as indentured servants.

Every time I read a story like this from Britain and Western Europe in general I thank God for this 'lost" battle.

For out of slavery our people have been free CITIZENs of a free republic(no pun intended) and will fight any encroachment of our rights given to us by our Creator and codified by the Founding Fathers' in a rock solid Constitution.

Sad but true. One could also say that when suffrage was given to non-property owners the republic was doomed as it gave the non taxpaying voter equal status to the taxpaying citizen and thereby voting to "Rob Peter to pay Paul"

Irresponsible politicians has hence been buying votes ever since.

Add in the dictatorship of the Nine in Black Robes(more specifically Roe Vs. Wade) and you have the prefect storm of how to bring down a free republic.

Free speech is dead in once-great Britain. Coming soon, loss of all freedom.

Write the British Embassy in Washington and inform them that you will never visit the UK, not under any circumstances, as it has revealed itself to be an unfree authoritarian state where the basic rights of man have been abrogated and any dissent against the ruling order is harshly punished.

Then state that the American Revolution was fought for precisely the same reasons listed above and enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. Tell them we have a Constitution which guarantees our freedoms.

Finish with “Free Tommy Robinson!!”

Send it snail mail & address it to the charge’ d’affaires. Much harder to blow off than an email or tweet.

I think a new law needs to be made requiring YouTube to put a notice of where the videos they no longer will host and the url to get there in the place of the video or channel they closed down for specious reasons.

They can help in their own demise by sending business to the “other hosting site”. People can choose any hosting site they like but I hope a free and open one will take the place of YouTube.

What do you think? I normally don’t like new laws but this one is necessary to deal with a bully.

Maybe they will develop a conscious and stop this nonsense. Yeah; right. /s

I'm thinking we should start viewing them as hazardous waste. Everyone knows what we do with hazardous waste so it won't harm people.
