Mississippi bans sex toys

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

I support, I guess, the right of the state to make such a law...but I have no idea what the purpose of such a law could be - other than to demonstrate complete stupidity.

They can have my multi-speed red ryder when they pry it out of my cold dead hands!!

The possibility that someone like you would attempt to seek a sexual partner is more than enough justification to override this law.

Say what?

typo...should read, "more than enough justification to override this law"

For the record:
The Mississippi legislature has an overwhelming Democrat majority

And the law has been proposed in Tennessee by a Democratic State Senator, Charlotte Burks.

See, it is stupid laws like this that give Christianity a bad name.  Are they next going to ban cucumbers, Baby Oil, and Victoria Secret?

My wife is not into sex toys and we have never used one...but I can't think of a single reason why a Christian would want to outlaw such items.

the title of this thread and the article itself are misleading - sex toys aren't banned outright, only the sale of sex toys. One can legally possess them if they want to. One could go out of state or use the internet to purchase them if one wanted to.

Well, if that is the case, I have no problem with this law.

This doesn't even begin to make sense.

It makes perfect sense....I don't like the fact that I have a liquor store 3 miles from my house...unless I am the customer.  If I could reasonably order booze over the internet, I would vote to outlaw the sale of alcohol in my county.

If someone didn't like the fact that there was a church 3 miles from their house, would they be justified in banning its existence?

Well, freedom to worship and assemble is explicitly protected by the US Constitution...but running a sex toy shop or liquor store isnt....I am sure this law will be upheld in the courts.

There are dry counties in Texas, and if a county or state can ban the sell of alcohol after the era of prohibit, I'm sure they can also ban the sell of sex toys.

Why? How does that liquor store affect you negatively?

Because I don't want a lot of the customers around where I am driving with my kids, and I don't want the drunks around me to have quick access to booze.  Duh.

OK, are you afraid of running into people using dildoes on the street or something if a sex shop was near you?

The store would not just have married people as customers, but also the sexually immoral and perverted.  Besides, anyone with common sense would order stuff like this off the internet, it not like you can test drive the thing in the store.
