Yet you could always walk into a store and buy a gun in that part of the world!

I have to say I find parts of the US quite absurd :)

Yeah, the gun stores here in South Texas are pretty funny. There's one near my house that sells "guns and jewelry".

So, a court overturns a ban on sex toys.

Will a ban on spooning be the next thing Texas tries?

Happy St. Valentine's. everyone.

Aw, that's a shame, now they'll lose all that ingenuity as they try to make things themselves.

A court overturns a ban on sex toys, eh.
