Back awhile ago I bought two books from a local mil-surp store. One is a complete AK-47 SKS guide, the other is a how to book. It tells how to bubba an sks to make it full-auto and how to make an sks silencer.
Now before your pants get wet. I have no intentions of bubbaizing my sks or building illegal devices. My buddy told me that owning the book and the rifle is the same as owning an illegal FA weapon since I have the tools, gun, and knowhow. I told him he's full of it. That's like saying since I have a sack of potatoes, a pot, and some copper tubing tools and directions I have an illegal still. That 1st Amendment protects my write to buy/have the book and that for now you can't get in legal trouble for having knowledge. He countered that it was because I owned the rifle and the book it shows intent. Heck I own a mauser and a copy of Mein Kompf am I now guilt of genocide?
Am I taking a risk or breaking the law by owning this pamphlet? Should I burn it along with every other book I own that Big Brother doesn't like?
i.e. Anarchist's Cook Book, Mein Kampf.
