Why restrict child porn but not guns? [Barf Alert]
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 6/7/22 | Neil Steinberg

Posted on 06/08/2022 12:20:18 AM PDT by markomalley

(snip)

Nor can you own child pornography, and it’s important to understand why. Child pornography is among the most restricted material in our society. You don’t have to produce it or sell it to commit a crime; it’s a crime simply to possess it.

Why does child pornography merit such a unique level of suppression? I’ll give you a hint: it’s called “child pornography.” Children cannot consent to sexual acts with adults and are severely damaged by being forced to do so. Child pornography hurts children, so we suppress it with all the legal might our nation can bring to bear, even if it infringes on fundamental freedoms.

(Snip)

So why all the trouble with guns? Why does a logic universally accepted regarding the First Amendment completely fall apart when we get to the Second? The harm to children from guns far exceeds the harm done by child pornography.

It’s an absurd comparison of two things that are nothing alike. Porn of any kind has no redeeming value. It’s self-destructive, and neither defends against harm nor provides nutrition to sustain life.

If children at 5 are smart enough to know their chromosome gender is wrong, why can’t they choose to smoke and drink? Elevate gun responsibility by doing the left’s favorite thing.. start gun education in schools along with sex Ed. NOAA and the NEA can loan out some fully automatic weapons.

This dirt bag is totally woke. There are some ideas so stupid, you know only an idiot libtard rat 🐀 could dream it up. The two, are about as related, as asking, “did you walk to school, or carry your lunch?”

One thing we can conclude is that the author is into a bit of kid diddling.

Why provide 24x7 protection for politicians, have armed guards and metal detectors in courthouses, banks, the Capitol and White House, but leave schools as soft targets?

There is no discussion to be had.

Child porn is unequivocally evil and degenerate, without exception. Attempting to classify it in the same realm as firearms is absurd.

Not everything is negotiable or up for discussion.

A little off topic, I was looking for the right words for a paragraph I'm writing about the negative effects of certain things found on the internet and on FR, and you've provided me with the correct phrasing. Thank you.

I don’t remember any stories of child pornography stopping an armed robbery or home invasion.

This is nothing more than a liberal trying to justify the grooming and raping of children.

P.S. Just remember, ‘grooming’ is the practice of incrementalism.

“You like me, right?”
“So, I can compliment you, right?”
“So, I can hug you, right?”
“So, I can tickle, right?”
“So, I can touch your leg, right?”
“So, I can touch you butt, right?”
“So, You can touch my butt, right?”
...

"...P.S. Just remember, ‘grooming’ is the practice of incrementalism...."

"Incrementalism" is the dirtiest word in politics.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

— Norman Thomas, 6 times candidate for President by the Socialist Party


If you want it in simplest terms, consider the old French fable of Stone Soup (which many Freeprs will remember having seen when a child):

Then Hunter Biden should be in prison.
One: For the “rather young” Chinese prostitutes he bought and took pictures of . BUT the loophole is the age of consent in China is 14.
Two: Lying on his firearms form and illegally disposing of a gun near a school.

OH wait. his last name. Never mind.

More children died from the clot shots than guns.

Discuss.
