“ The only problem is this little thing called the 1st amendment. Government imposed, no, self imposed by the shopkeepers, ok.”

I really don’t think a city council banning obscenities from public display is a violation of the first amendment. There is such a thing as common decency, although it is becoming less so.

Respectfully that’s not really true. There is no such thing as common sense or common decency, we are all unique and as such have different standards and while the differences might be VERY slight they are there.

Having the local government impose some sort of restriction or ruling would hopefully get challenged in court and tossed on 1A grounds. Remember it’s the speech YOU don’t like that needs to be protected.
