Sort of. The author is ignorant, confounding the silly "no plastic guns!" law with ITAR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_Regulations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_...) controls on "exporting" arms information, which is being played out in the courts and the State Department. So, yeah, once it's released that's it for "removing it from the Internet", but that's unrelated to State forcing the author to remove his official copies on the net unless and until the above is resolved.
