Another example of how idiotic some people have made this country.
It is ILLEGAL to buy a vibrator in Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Indiana, Virginia, Louisiana and Massachusetts.

It is LEGAL to buy a gun in every single one of our 50 states.


I'm at a loss for words with this one.

4. But do you have
an assault rifle shaped vibrator? ;) (Insert obligatory snarky reference to Bill O'Reilly here.)

2. I live in Indiana...
...We can buy Vibrators if we want too, we can goto a place called PERCILLA'S which actually a chain. It one of those stupid laws from the bygone era that means nothing and is never enforced?

Another one of those things that make you go " What the fuck? " would be that you can goto Wal-Mart and buy a Shotgun w/ammo, but you cant buy a MARILYN MANSON cd! or after you get your gun head over to the book section and grad yourself a new bible or an mANN Coulter book. I highly doubt that they carry Dawkins or Harris literature.

5. And a pharmacist at Wal-mart does not have to dispense birth control pills but the poor
clerk in the sporting section would be fired if he refused to sell a handgun. (I'm not sure about the fire part. I just know that the sales people do not have the same privileges as the pharmacists.)

3. I don't see any problem with guns being legal,
but I agree that making vibrators illegal is just silly.

I was surprised at first to see Massachusetts on the list, but then I remembered that Mass is one of the few states that bans most stores from opening on Sunday, and has other such blue laws. (And they are pretty damn harsh on gun owners too, FWIW.)
