MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The U.S. Supreme Court declined today to hear a challenge to Alabama's ban on the sale of sex toys, ending a nine-year legal battle and sending a warning to store owners to clean off their shelves. An adult-store owner had asked the justices to throw out the law as an unconstitutional intrusion into the privacy of the bedroom. But the Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal, leaving intact a lower court ruling that upheld the law. Sherri Williams, owner of Pleasures stores in Huntsville and Decatur, said she was disappointed, but plans to sue again on First Amendment free speech grounds. "My motto has been they are going to have to pry this vibrator from my cold, dead hand. I refuse to give up," she said.

That makes sense to me.
It is a banning not a suspension.
You got a frog in your pocket?
impossible.
I build those. I also build 4cyl.
160 from a vtwin is impossible unless you have some sort of forced aspiration. Did those numbers come from a dyno?
I am not knocking your ride, but somebody done told you wrong.....
Then the market will decide, and the shop will go out of business.
Sounds like your real problem is with the advertising, which is the domain of your local zoning board.
It’s like H.L Mencken said: Puritanism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, might be having fun.
I’m sick of the “Free Republic is a political website” argument. Yeah, we know that, we get it already. So, why don’t they just remove the General/Chat and Smoky Backroom forums and be done with it? Let’s stick to just politics then, if people aren’t allowed to talk about anything else here.
At least on the threads that are fun you have people making friends and laughing together rather than ripping each other apart because they don’t like tattoos, a religion, creation v. evolution or anything else they so judgmentally disagree with.
Is it primarily a political website? indeed it is. But heaven forbid someone actually try to lighten up a little.

That makes sense to me.
So why is this thread still here?
Dark ages is right. "Female sexuality is disgusting; vibrators and dildoes, ew! Why can't they just go get a man?" Meanwhile, sales of lotion, kleenex, and men's magazines continue unabated and without comment.
I guess the only real losers are Alabama business owners and the state itself. Business will shift to the internet, from which Alabama cannot collect taxes. The USPS and private delivery companies, along with internet merchants and plain brown packaging manufacturers, will profit from this.

Best of luck to her. I hope she finds a more appropriate forum for her posts.

Good question. You might want to ask a Mod. If it were up to me, it might not be, at least not in its present state.
