Most Constitution-respecting Americans will disagree. Committing a crime is not OK. Conveying information for learning is always OK.

  Really? "It shall be unlawful for any person... to teach or demonstrate the making or use of an explosive, a destructive device, or a weapon of mass destruction..."[1] Teaching bomb making is not legal. Passed the senate 94-0, no objections. There are things you can't teach. [1] https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/842 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/842

    You omitted the important part: "...with the intent that the teaching, demonstration, or information be used for, or in furtherance of, an activity that constitutes a Federal crime of violence." The teaching alone is legal. The intent to set up someone to commit a crime is what makes it illegal. I can legally teach you how to make a bomb if I do not intend for you to use it for crime.

      That is an awfully thin hair to split. I challenge you on that last point. If you tried teaching bomb making in the United States, you would likely have be visited by a couple of ATF folks to have a talk. They would advise you strongly not to teach that. Anyways, best of luck. :)

        I was pointing out that your quote was incomplete and cannot be used to support your point. Being visited by law enforcement does not imply that you have committed a crime.
