UK Firearms; Open letter to Law commissioners To: Honorable Law Commissioners Regarding: UK Firearms reform / Historical Scope & Context Your Honors, This letter is to address the upcoming reform of existing UK Firearm law (Scoping Consultation paper #224) and ongoing violations of the 1688-1689 Bill of Rights Act which specifically declared disarming Protestants an act that "endeavors to subvert and extirpate the protestant religion, and the laws and liberties of this kingdom." The Bill of Rights Act grants "Certain Ancient Rights and Liberties" that have in fact been diminished and abolished by parliament by the very laws the honorable law commissioners propose to consolidate. That the pretended power of parliament to suspend "Certain Ancient Rights and Liberties" granted by the Bill of Rights Act is illegal; That the pretended power to enact laws contravening the Bill of Rights Act, as it hath been assumed and exercised of late, is illegal; Therefore, any government procedure or code undermining the "Certain Ancient Rights and Liberties" is an attack on the Bill of Rights Act and an attack on the people of the United Kingdom, whose Ancient Rights and Liberties are essential to human dignity and moral worth. The Bill of Rights Act supersedes the Statute of Northampton. In the enforcement of these Firearms bans, how often have the innocent been brought to the bar and condemned for merely exercising the very Ancient Rights and Liberties granted by the Bill of Rights Act? Were not the North American colonies lost when British soldiers tried to seize arms and powder from the colonists? In practical effect, do the Good & Loyal Subjects & Citizens of the Crown have the right to live as freemen if they are denied the implements required to defend that life? In practical effect, the Law commissioners are to be the "Archons" in charge of Future Firearm law for the express purpose of preventing future crimes, as yet uncommitted by anyone, so consider then the first known weapons control laws: In 593 B.C. Solon was elected chief Archon of Athens. Solon Law Reforms included the first recorded arms control law banning Armor being worn in the city state of Athens. Other reforms of Solon included the cancellation of all debts, prohibition on a debtor's person (or family) being used as security for a loan, release of all Athenian slaves, and by some accounts the "democratization of sexuality" by the public funding of Brothels. Also codified, the disenfranchisement of any citizen who might refuse to take up arms in times of civil strife, a measure that was intended to counteract dangerous levels of political apathy. How indeed can a citizen subject of the Crown take up arms in defence of the Crown without said arms, and without benefit of practice & training thereof. If the Spanish Armada of 1588 did not founder in the channel and North Sea but were able to land 19,000 Spanish Cavalry, Sword, and Archers, along with 17,000 French soldiers would the British populace of the modern day, limited to 22 rimfire, be capable to repel even such an ancient force when in the Battle of Cerignola (1503) one thousand Spanish Arquebusiers wielding 66 caliber Arquebus matchlocks were required to repel and defeat French Cavalry? In the modern day, inexpensive soft body armor renders 22 rimfire totally ineffective. The British Military is not the Global superpower it once was, however Good & Loyal Subjects & Citizens of the Crown will invariably rise to defend it, if the rights & liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights Act be restored. "The protection of the liberty of Britain is a duty which they owe to themselves, who enjoy it; to their ancestors, who transmitted it down; and to their posterity, who will claim at their hands this, the best birthright, and noblest inheritance of mankind." - Sir William Blackstone; Book 4, Chapter 33 Respectfully Submitted-
