I like that site, but stay the hell out of the soapbox podium forum. They are a bunch of retards outside of gunsmithing.

Well,
Let's see ......

1. He was convicted of illegally manufacturing a full auto firearm. And to be completely fair---- he did do it. He admits it and there is photographic proof of him constructing it as well. All politics aside he is/was guilty. No further questions or arguments for (or from) either side.

2. Now that he is out of prison, he continues to publish information on constructing the same type of weapons and also now is into ammunition construction as well. Technically this is not illegal since all he is doing is disseminating information. As of yet there is no evidence of any recent illicit happenings.

3. HOWEVER! and this is the point of contention (I am sure) If you are convicted of a crime and then try and teach others how to commit the same crime, you are going to continue to attract the attention of the authorities.....for a long time......a very LONG time.

In short he has broken the 1st and possibly 2nd rule of any one who does not want this kind of attention.
1. Leave no witnesses.
2. Leave no trace.

Now having said that ( I know, you weren't expecting a lecture were you?)
I hope this is only a temporary setback... the world needs more people like P.A. Luty
