Some people do not like other people having fun and will work to destroy the ability of other people's fun.
My brother now lives in Pennsylvania, which is one of the most statist places on earth. He tells a story of a co-worker viewing some Southern contraption, a self-propelled hunting platform--a "critter gitter", and the co-worker immediately said it should be "banned".
Some people want to ban guns and hunting platforms. Other people want to ban nude statues like the boy peeing into the fountain. I hope people see that both are bad ideas. Alas, today too many people are culturally or politically partisan. They want to ban some things, but get outraged when their enemies want to ban other things. We need to take our guns to protect Robert Maplethorpe's fetish art while reading Huck Finn.
