"boy does this argument sound familar......."

Really now. I thought you were in favor of states rights.

If this were a federal law, I would have a problem with it. But if the citizens of a state (or county, or city, or community) want to constitutionally ban sex toys (or strip clubs, or adult bookstores, or prostitution), that's their business. That's how they want to live.

Why should the citizens of a community be forced to put up with this? Don't they have rights, too?

It's not about the constitutionality, but the liberal thinking that leads people to use the government to control the lives of other people even though their actions do no direct harm to the liberal complainers.

To get an idea of what I'm talking about, replace "spinster who hasn't been laid in 20 years" and "sex toys" with "PETA" and "hunting" or "Greenpeace" and "logging."

It is constitutional, but stupid.
