I have given two reasons that you could not comprehend (being Albanian :^), but I will run them by you again:

1. Because even with police protection provided, response times can be too long, so people need to be responsible for protecting themselves from rape, murder, kidnapping, armed robbery, etc.

2. Because we don't want to return to the old days of the wild west. Are you familiar with that era in U.S. history?

How do you even attempt to have a "clear" conversation with a liberal at an abortion clinic (in the other thread) if your communication style is clear as mud using 10,000 acronyms, avoiding clear answers and giving confusing statements?
Ever thought of that major?

I am for banning the porn part.

With free speech, don't know how you'd get away with that. There are a lot of things that could/should be, but then it comes down to personal responsibility. Parent allow their children way to much freedom and time on the internet. I don't have kids but if I did, the computer would be in a room where the family always is, where I could keep an eye on what was being looked at. If they had a phone it would be locked in certain places. There would be a limit on time on social media. If I saw an addiction starting, it would be taken away from them completely and the entire family if it was needed. The gov't shouldn't be raising children.

Yes, parents should monitor their children better, but I don't know how we would get away with banning poor parents either.

I think we might have a better chance of banning porn, but it would require a national discussion complete with scientific studies showing the harmful effects on individuals and what it costs society.

The Dems won't do it, but maybe the MAGA folks will make some progress in that regard. I wonder if RFK would consider it to be in his health lane?
