California senator wants all copies of a book removed from the internet.

[popman]

On Thursday, US senator for California Diane Feinstein has said in a press release that the 1971 publication titled "The Anarchist's Cookbook" should be removed from the Internet.

The statement was in response to the arrests of two women accused of plotting to conduct a terrorist attack in New York City.

 

 

 

“The arrests of two women in New York accused of plotting to carry out bombings remind us that the threat of terrorism inside the United States endures. We must remain vigilant against these types of attacks and place a high priority on tracking and interdicting such plots.

“I am particularly struck that the alleged bombers made use of online bombmaking guides like the Anarchist Cookbook and Inspire Magazine. These documents are not, in my view, protected by the First Amendment and should be removed from the Internet.

“I commend the FBI and the New York City Police Department for their work in preventing this and other potential attacks and am pleased that Loretta Lynch, a very distinguished attorney, will be leading the prosecution.”

According to the source, their copy of the book was given to the suspects by an undercover FBI agent.

Don't worry no one takes Feinstein seriously.

 

Her 2013 "assault weapons" ban bill was the first time I've ever heard pro gun people saying that a gun regulation bill was arbitrary and useless. They tried to ban a .22LR Uzi replica but they didn't try to ban mini-14s. I mean it's not like anyone ever has done a spree shooting with a mini-14...  :rolleyes:
