"SC can do what they want you are correct (albeit only what the ever expanding federal government allows) but that does not make it right."

Are you saying that, in the name of "freedom", the citizens of South Carolina should not be allowed to prohibit the sale of material they deem obscene? Then let me ask, "Where is their freedom to live their lives and raise their children how they wish?"

Oh, I understand what you're saying -- this is America, land of the free, where everything is legal and the individual chooses how they will live. No one is forcing an individual to partake.

Legalization implies societal acceptance -- an acceptable option, if you will. Well, there are things that are not acceptable to our society, and we have laws against them for that reason.

Are 'things' like guns "acceptable"? Apparently you thought not, -- a few years ago:

Ready for the big one? California can ban all guns if they so chose. There's nothing in the state constitution (one of six states, I believe) about the right to keep and bear arms.
