    But there’s no such legislation or required identification for my kids to see graphic violence and gore. We’re a pretty bass ackwards society.

      Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily?

        Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.

    Am I the only one who beleives that it would have been a more effective arguement to try and use the 4th amendment instead of the first? Violating free speech is just a weak claim, but “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches…” seems quite relevent here. But I am also not a lawyer.
