Amazon banned the sale of a gun book on Wednesday night for an unexplained violation of the company\u2019s rules.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The listing for The Liberator Code Book: An Exercise in Freedom of Speech, <\/i>which had been available on Amazon since Aug. 1, was removed from Amazon\u2019s website. The web address where the book had previously been listed<\/span><\/a> now redirects to an error page. The web address<\/span><\/a> where a Kindle book titled The Liberator: An .STL File Published as a Book<\/i> also now redirects to an error page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both books had been published through Amazon\u2019s self-publication services. Amazon told the Washington Free Beacon<\/i> it was banning publication of the books and their sale through their website.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis book was removed for violating our content guidelines,\u201d Jack Evans, an Amazon spokesperson, told the Free Beacon<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evans directed the Free Beacon<\/i> to the Kindle Direct Publishing content guidelines<\/a>, which ban the publication of pornography, offensive content, illegal and infringing content, public domain and other non-exclusive content, and books that result in a \u201cpoor customer experience.\u201d Amazon refused to elaborate on how the books violated their guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n
