Logic would be you reading my post, I never said those specific laws were libertarian.

If you look at the last 60 years of our history, you will see that libertarianism has created things like San Francisco.

Somehow the tail wags the dog now, it came from courts and the Supreme Court.

Get the courts back to the way they were our first 150 years and you will see the straights in this nation reassert “community standards” that truly reflect the conservatism of dads and moms and grandparents, and church goers.

So enforcement of a community standard of a ban on toys in “Happy Meals”?

Do you support it?

How about laws enforcing the community standard against circumcision?

Do you support it?

On what grounds to you oppose the Nanny State on toys and foreskins, but support it on video games?

Do you have a standard upon which such things are to be judged?

I do. I think games should be rated for content like movies(and they are) and I think responsible stores should refuse to sell adult rated games to minors - as they refuse entry to R rated movies to unaccompanied minors. That is a community standard that is entirely without a need for any law to enforce.

Stores that sell adult rated games to minors should be boycotted, protested against, etc.

A law is unnecessary where people have moral standards - where moral standards are absent - the law will be insufficient.
