South Carolina may outlaw sex toys

Death penalty? Check! Handguns? Check! "Hello Kitty" vibrators? Bzzzzt! Banned in South Carolina, if a proposed bill is made law:
Lucy’s Love Shop employee Wanda Gillespie said she was flabbergasted that South Carolina’s Legislature is considering outlawing sex toys. But banning the sale of sex toys is actually quite common in some Southern states.

The South Carolina bill, proposed by Republican Rep. Ralph Davenport, would make it a felony to sell devices used primarily for sexual stimulation and allow law enforcement to seize sex toys from raided businesses.
