Rules for thee but not for me, eh Sen. Cruz?
This doesn't effect me, I don't shop at Walmart or have more than six holes.
But when they came for me..
So... are there like, auditors? Does the government pay someone to go around and inventory peoples' sex toys? Do you have to register your devices? Are they serialized? Do you have to report them on your state tax return?
Who are these ~~people~~ whackjobs that spend so much time thinking about what other people are doing in their bedrooms?
I don't know how to make a quote line but this one stood out to me and made me laugh.
"Parents do not consent to their children being exposed to obscene devices while shopping for toothpaste."
What stores sell toothpaste next to adult toys?
My local supermarket has sex toys on upper shelves in the family planning section, which is in the healthcare department. They don't look like dongs, so people shouldn't recognize what they are unless they know about them already. But kids might still ask their parents what that is on the shelf, and that is apparently worse than school shootings.
I’m guessing that part is performative. I doubt there are dildos for sale at Walmart.
Walmart absolutely sells vibrators and plugs. They're in the section near the condoms, which does happen to be near the toothpaste/deodorant/shampoo area.
They sell small vibrators in discreet packaging, on the top shelf near the condoms.
IANAL, but this law is (probably) not currently enforceable due to (among others) Lawrence v. Texas.
However, that was explicitly named as being on the chopping block, so at best it's "not enforceable yet"
They'll have to come and take them from my cold dead pu-... wait..
How...how are they enforcing this?
Its something to charge you with when the cops go on a fishing expedition at your house for weed or whatever else.
Its just a punishment law that cops get to use at their discretion totally fairly.
At least they can fuck themselves while they're at it I guess
Wouldn't surprise me if they treat toys like Sudafed. Gotta flash your ID to buy one.
Yes. Texas bans the possession of or promoting use of more than six dildos.
It does make exceptions for people who have the multiples of the device for medical and law enforcement purposes.
Lmao. Police officers can legally use an array of didos for 'law enforcement'.
You'll be arrested if you cheer them on for it tho...
BUT if you can prove it's medically necessary; you're welcome to have a cornucopia of rubber cocks.
I have loose bowels, I need 7 dildos to plug it and stop my anal leakage.
Need to make a proposal to limit cross walls to a maximum of 6 crosses.
Besides banning the sale of sex toys, the Texas Obscenity Statute also specified the number of “obscene devices”—for example, dildos—a person could own: six. The number was not chosen at random, but rather because lawmakers assumed that people who owned more than six obscene devices that were identical or similar had the intent to distribute them.
Theoretically, it should be possible to have more than six obscene devices without by guilty of intending to supply them - cock ring, butt plug, fleshlight, dildo, strap-on, inflatable sheep, Ben Wa balls, nipple clamps and penis cage. All have different uses, all without intending to supply.
If supply was the concern (although I don't know why), perhaps criminalise that not the bottom drawer of my bedside table.
Fine. I'm a defender of gun rights. No more than six or you intend to distribute. Let's rock.
Ah so it’s basically like with drugs. Once you have more than a personal amount it’s possession with intent to distribute.
If supply was the concern (although I don’t kmoe why)
There is no crime in America greater than unapproved economic activity.
Ironic, since unrestricted economic activity is the foundation of Adam Smith's capitalism.
Hairbrush and shampoo bottle sales about to go through the roof.
Sounds like the government wants to hoard most of the dildos to go fuck themselves. 🍆
And yet they have such unearned pride as a bastion of freedumb.
Is there a limit on total footage? Does a double ended dildo count as two? Is a Christmas tree of dicks ok since it's more than 6, but is Christian?
Need to go candelabra style with them all attached at the base.
They just need to add a way to mount it to a gun and then its not a dildo, its a gun accessory.
Well that’s one way to finally make Republicans upset about school shootings… maybe
I dunno, are the Christmas tree dicks circumcised?
The One Star State is at it again. "Freedom" there is not really a thing since the government obviously owns the citizens.
