"Because child sex is considered a non-consensual act. Note that porn with adults portraying children or fiction involving children having sex (Lolita for example) are considered free speech."
It is considered free speech now - but hopefully as our country grows increasingly aware of the harmful affects of pornography this will be reconsidered.
"Perhaps... But their tragedy does not give them the privilege to take away my rights."
And what about the rights of the innocent to live their lives unmolested by porn addicted perverts?
" Her tragedy does not make the 2nd Amendment go away."
No - but tragedies like hers do cause people to look at steps that can be taken to prevent criminals or mentally ill people from purchasing guns.
On the other hand, whenever we read another story of a child abduction/rape/murder we will inevitably see a common theme we have seen over and over, year after year....drugs and porn.
And here we have people here suggesting we legalize the drugs and keep the porn.
A recipe for disaster.
Molestation is not a free speech right. A person is responsible for how they act. They can claim that they were "inspired" by something else, but that neither makes them less responsible or the creator of what inspired them more responsible.
No - but tragedies like hers do cause people to look at steps that can be taken to prevent criminals or mentally ill people from purchasing guns.
But is shouldn't have us looking at steps to prevent sane, law-abiding people from purchasing guns.
On the other hand, whenever we read another story of a child abduction/rape/murder we will inevitably see a common theme we have seen over and over, year after year....drugs and porn.

And alcohol. Don't forget alcohol... oh, yeah... that's legal. And when a person commits a crime while under the influence of alcohol, we punish them for the crime. However, when a person has a drink or three at home, we don't punish them.
I'm saying porn and drugs should be treated the same.
