My opinion on this law is clearly presented further up the thread.
However, since the Second Amendment clearly states that no state shall pass a law banning arms.
There is no such provision for sex toys. I think the law is stupid and a perfect example of nanny-state bullsh*t, but Constitutionally, I think the SCOTUS was correct here.
Let Alabama be backwards and repressed if they choose to.

True, but it would have no teeth were it not for the 14th, which clarified that all rights guaranteed by the constitution were applicable to individuals at the state and local level as well. The "State Rights" crowd have made the argument in the past that the constitution only applies to the Federal level, while conveniently ignoring the incorporation clause of the 14th.
Even under the commerce clause, however, it would be difficult for the court to rule otherwise in this case. Besides, this will prove impossible to enforce. The state of Florida passed a similar ban on pornography in the 1980s (freepers, correct me if I'm wrong) but outside of isolated cases, it has never been enforced.

Dates aren’t guaranteed to satisfy May I suggest a better grade of dates?

I googled "Premium Dates" and this is what I got....Come to think of it, they're better than the other kind of date too!

I work in a small rural town that happens to be on an interstate. Some national chain of Adult XXX stores bought some property and low and behold we have a hugh high sign welcoming people to our little town advertising XXX Adult STore. It is disgusting. It needs to be somewhere else. Alot of people and I am one of them would not stop and get even gas at such a exit.

Yes, but it’s apparently OK if a man or substantial donor posts one.

an unconstitutional intrusion into the privacy of the bedroom Considering the idiotic ways privacy has been read into the Constitution, this guy probably would have had a point if the court makeup had been different. How ludicrous would it have been for the Supreme Court to declare a national right to buy sex toys?
This kind of regulation is rightly kept at the state level.
