I would never have thought to go to walmart to buy a sex toy if I hadn't seen them somewhat prominently displayed on my way towards the vitamin aisle.

Don't most people just buy them online anyway? How the fuck would they even enforce this? The whole thing is a joke.

They're criminalizing things more likely to be owned by people they're trying to cleanse. Maybe cops show up and find you've exceeded your government allotted sex toy limit... would you lose your job? Your kids? Do you even call the cops? Do you hide the dildos in a gun safe and leave the guns out, to make the cops happy?

I find it hilarious that cops are going to start driving around with dildos in their car. You know, in case they need to plant one.

Rookie, sprinkle a little KY on him. Perfect.

It's more of an excuse to pile more charges onto the types of people they don't like.

While already in the house to investigate something (real or made up) it gives them an excuse to look through their underwear trying to find excuses to charge them.
