Fact: Texas has more laws restricting sex toys than guns

 

 

“Texas residents are restricted on the number of sex toys they can possess. Yet, Texans can own as many guns as they want.”

Let’s hear it for those Texas Republicans! They’re fighting to keep us safe!

Safe from……sex toys!

By state law, Texas residents are restricted on the number of sex toys they can possess. Yet, Texans can own as many guns as they want and can even carry a gun in public. This shocking fact has come to attention following the Uvalde mass shooting on Tuesday in which 19 students and 2 teachers were shot dead by an 18-year-old who bought two deadly assault weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, all because buying guns and ammo in Texas is about as easy as driving thru a Dairy Queen and ordering a Dilly Bar.

But don’t try to hoard sex toys!

Section 43:23 of the Texas State Penal (oh, the irony!) Code states:

“A person who possesses six or more obscene devices or identical or similar obscene articles is presumed to possess them with intent to promote the same.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (who apparently loves porn and got caught accidentally giving a “like” to a hot MILF video) has even gone so far as to fight for a ban on sex toys. In a stunning legal argument made when he was fighting against an Austin adult store selling such devices, Cruz’s legal team argued there is no right “to stimulate one’s genitals.”

You can’t make this shit up, folks.

Let me quote that again: The Cruz memo wrote:

“There is no substantive-due-process right to stimulate one’s genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship.”

Let’s hear it for those conservatives fighting for our freedom!

Texas’ sick “obscenity laws” pushed mostly by Christian fundamentalists and willingly passed by lapdog conservatives expose the appalling hypocrisy of false “freedom” arguments and reveal their deeply-disturbed paranoia about anything connected to sex, reproduction, and/or female empowerment. Republicans and conservatives care far more about what happens in your bedroom than keeping kids safe in the classroom.

Here’s an idea. Let’s ban “obscene devices.” Yes, let’s do that; I’m talking about obscene devices such as AR-15 style ASSAULT WEAPONS, which have no other purpose than murderous mass destruction. Now, those are what I call — obscene devices.
