No doubt. I don't think people should have that in their faces for a few reasons. I don't have any problem with banning it, I'm just surprised they did.
The topic makes me begin thinking about when the govt should take action against harmful ideas. We used to do it in order to keep harmful material from crossing the border, a preventative measure that has lost most of its effectiveness since the internet, and we used to censor much more obscene material, like porn, etc. The underlying rationale, the principle involved for banning a manifesto should be applicable to a wider range of harmful or destabilizing ideas, IMO.
This is a bit of a jump from mass shootings, but I think the worst parts of capitalism and banking policy should be banned after proving to be harmful and de-stabilizing.

On the evening of 1 May, Goebbels arranged for an SS dentist, Helmut Kunz, to inject his six children with morphine so that when they were unconscious, an ampule of cyanide could be then crushed in each of their mouths.[239] According to Kunz's later testimony, he gave the children morphine injections but it was Magda Goebbels and SS-Obersturmbannführer Ludwig Stumpfegger, Hitler's personal doctor, who administered the cyanide.[239]
Anyway, it doesn't take genius to realize that if a Muslim went into a church on Sunday and shot fifty Christians, there would be no clamor to force people to read the IS manifesto or the Quran.
sounds like F 451
Of course, the Nazi book burnings were promoted by Hilter's propaganda minister (Josef Goebbels) --whose story everyone should know/learn.
