Another Idiot
Nicki tells us about a British reporter who has threatened to sick his lawyers on Keep and Bear Arms. The reason is because KABA uses his (and other) British gun crime stories published to illustrate what a miserable failure British gun laws are.
So, in the spirit of telling Mr. Truscott (whom you can email here) to piss off, here goes:

ASide form the arguing by anecdote, whats the text of the beef? Does the guy claim they are misrepresenting his work, or does he claim that they are printing it in whole without payment? Those two things might actually be actionalbe. but I couldn’t find anything other than the blurb.
