See here's the problem Recluse. There are laws that cover this very well. They are already in place. They don't typically include the death penalty as you and some others here seem to want. If that really is the 'will of the people' (which I abhorrently disbelieve) then those that seek this change should be contacting their government representatives in order get this change before the people for an actual vote.
Now the caterwauling and yelling about this that happened over the last few days got a result, Amazon decided to remove this particular book from it's catalog (yet many others on the same topic are still there). This action is an action of commerce and has nothing to do with the law. The author and Amazon were both fully within their rights to offer this book to the public and may again in the future.
The first amendment guarantees the freedom of the press. That is at the core of this entire issue. If you (and others) wish to change that amendment you are welcome to try by following the processes already in place as part of our government, but you do so at your own peril.
