Texas is the land where regulation is always second, or so they say. However, it’s also a state where politicians have chosen to regulate oddly specific...

Possession with Intent to Distribute ?
I mean is a weapon of Mass Distraction ?
What is this law ???
They often are.
Interestingly, it doesn’t include butt plugs - Republicans must love those, also penis cages and cock rings.
For the double, if it counts as two when split it’d be illegal because two identical devices
