I have an ethical quandary - UTD 1A related

In some of the files I have that I am putting together for the UTD 1A Project, there are some files on how to make suppressors.  And while I already knew how to do it since my Senior Drill Instructor in Basic Training at Fort Sill actually showed me and several others in my Battery, how to make several types, using various materials.  My quandary is this particular one is so simple and easy to make, I'm afraid someone would think nothing of actually making one, and they if caught with it, could go to prison.

Now the other files not related, I have no problem with disseminating them as it is legal to do so according to the current BATFE Regulations and the current Federal laws. 

However I am concerned that someone possibly a young adult would see just how easy it is to make this, and then do so without following the proper procedures, steps and regulations.  And then find themselves under arrest and being charged under Federal Statutes.


So do I leave that file in?  Or do I take it out?

I am seriously leaning towards taking it out, as I was once young and I know what temptation can do to someone who doesn't think it can happen to them.

Please leave a comment about this.

I really would appreciate it.
