If they can outlaw a specific store from selling something, they can outlaw any store from selling anything. This isn't just about sex toys, it's a test to see what they can get away with.

Tbf, the bill targets "retail stores," not specifically Walmart.

The point stands. There is no TBF here.

I wouldn't give them that much credit - sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and this dildo wants to ban dildoes. Because "chirren".
