Related: About this forumTrump Suggests Arresting Magazine Publishers
Donald Trump took aim at magazines and other media that publish instructions on how to make explosive devices, CNN reports.
Said Trump: So I see the other day, and theyre all talking about it so wonderfully because its called freedom of the press where you buy magazines and they tell you how to make the same bombs that you saw. I would now people will go crazy, theyll say Trump is against freedom of the press. Im totally in favor of freedom of the press. But how do you allow magazines to be sold these are magazines that tell you, from step one, go to the store and buy such-and-such, right?
He added: Those people should be arrested because they are inciting violence, OK.

(58,785 posts)I remember how interested, though, I was to move to the SE and find that ammonium nitrate could still be purchased retail in large bags. I automatically started looking around for dynamite to go with it that used to be available in every California farm supply store. Bleach we always have at home, of course, an extra bottle in case of emergency, though it's meant for treating water.
When are the paranoid, so-called Second Amendment protectionists going to realize that authoritarian, proto-fascist Trump would disarm them? They love to conjure specters of train cars full of conservatives on one-way journeys but are too stupid to realize they really need to fear themselves.

(5,648 posts)To me a magazine is a physical entity - print on paper and distributed to the public - but I don't think that is what Trump is talking about. If the such a physical magazine were being published in this country, or any civilized country its distribution could be halted.
But the magazines we are talking about are on line - particularly the on line magazine "Inspire" which Wikipedia describes as follows:
Inspire is an English language online magazine reported to be published by the organization al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The magazine is one of the many ways AQAP uses the Internet to reach its audience. Numerous international and domestic extremists motivated by radical interpretations of Islam have been influenced by the magazine and, in some cases, reportedly used its bomb-making instructions in their attempts to carry out attacks.[2] The magazine is an important brand-building tool, not just of AQAP, but of all al-Qaeda branches, franchises and affiliates.[3]
So would Trump have us do - arrest those who put the magazine on the internet - doesn't he understand that we, and the other countries in the world would have already that if could? Doesn't he know that we are working with internet companies to keep this trash from getting in the hands of home inspired terrorist?
This is just another example of how clueless Trump really is.

His intelligence briefings. I wonder if they are written to a 4th grade reading/attention level or just a bunch of poster-board graphics with two or three words each.

(7,403 posts)Because we have gone down this path before. Only this time it was far more serious than "inciting violence". It was how to make an H-bomb.
