Gun Geek on the Net Gets 3Yrs

A COMPUTER nerd was yesterday jailed for three years for selling replica guns on the internet. Andrew Phillips ran a website called Guns2 Thugs.com from his bedroom at his mum's house...Police closed the website in a raid on Phillips's Nottingham home after questions were asked in the Commons.

"Gun geek?"

"Computer nerd?"

Don't you just love the way "real journalists" keep their personal biases to themselves and limit their reporting to the facts?

For the risks this guy took and for the penalties they impose over replica guns, why wouldn't he just run the real things?

Here's what's left of the website the police shut down, courtesy of the Wayback Machine.
