As for illegal, there is that pesky First Amendment thing. Find me a way to reason around that one and I'll agree. A lot of things in print out there that probably shouldn't be. Doesn't mean I want to see book burnings come back in vogue.
Although, yeah... this book belongs on that burn pile if we do.
Until IIRC the late 1960s, obscene and pornographic materials were not considered protected speech under the Constitution. The framers and signers of the Constitution and Constitutional scholars for generations agreed.
A leftist leaning SCOTUS, commie founded ACLU and porn producers thought otherwise.
There is actually no Constiutitonal protection for such material. It’s just the leftists/porn producers’ viewpoint. They are wrong, and such materials should not receive Constitutional protection and states should be free do ban such books or other materials. And thanks to the leftists and porn/strip/owners even nudity and sex shows are considered “speech” to be protected.
So erroneous SCOTUS decisions have forced this stuff on all the states.
Illegal? I’m ok for them to go out of business. I’m ok with them being tried and jailed (or even executed) as an accessory to child rape.

So basically you are saying that “How To” manuals for pedophiles should not be made illegal. So you think that for the first almost 200 years of this country they were wrong about making such material illegal?
