A gun in the hands of a well trained patriot is less dangerous than an uncensored book with the word “nipple” in the hands of a deranged 12 year old.

Fewer and fewer places where young people can even *exist* without constant interference.

Lmao you have to be 18 to enter a fucking library?
sexybobo on
I am guessing parents were dumping off their kids at the library expecting free baby sitters?
fesakferrell on
That’s the library requiring ID in response to the law, not the state requiring ID.
ARoundForEveryone on
Thoughts, ideas, and information can be much more dangerous than a gun. They need to make sure that you’re not on some list of mentally unstable people, or too impressionable, to learn any new ideas.
Or something.

Why would you need an ID to buy a machete?

Keep them stupid, and keep them Republican.

Difference is when you’re walking OUT.

So, you have to be over 18 but only have to prove it if you’re not over 30? How do you prove you’re over 30?

If anyone was wondering, yes this is a law explicitly concerning potentially inappropriate material for 17 and under year-olds in a library.
American are the fucking dumbest of all the dumbest people.

I will never understand how so many people fail to comprehend that a leader who wants to restrict education is almost certainly up to no good.

Why would you need an Id for a machete?
sporkmanhands on
I can do that in Ohio. Only place I need an id to enter is a dispensary. Or a bar checking everyone at the door.

I am pretty sure you can buy a machete with no ID I most places

I’m in my 30s and I have to show ID every time I buy spray paint. And to be fair, you can’t walk out of a gun store with a gun without a background check. Frankly, all these things are equally ridiculous…Guns, paint, and books.

I heard it on a podcast just today. This is really happening (in several states iirc): restricted library cards, permission slips for certain books, age checks in certain sections… this is the Brave New World MAGA claims libs want.
Some small libraries even had to forbid access to under 18s completely because they had no way to physically separate sections under new regulations.

That isn’t very “first amendment freedom of speech” of the hypocritical fuckwits, now is it?
MDA1912 on
Really OP? Are you exempt from Federal form 4473 which includes a background check?
How is that remotely possible while remaining legal?
For those clueless like myself as OP sadly is acting like we all know about Idaho affairs 🙁
Gist: “Parents” now have a lot of control over books in Idaho and libraries can easily be fined for *adult* books….so it looks like to combat such dumb fines they’ve sectioned off the books (as the law suggests) and are now making it awfully hard to let such people near it (as the law requests). This is what that looks like if you maliciously are acting compliant. You get….a smart library all but demanding that you step through all the red tape possible just to read a Margaret Blume book or whatever.
NOW, there will be parents who likely will scream for Idaho’s mountaintops that this was a victory (Gov. is quoted as hating it but seemingly did one of those “party line” signatures). There will also be many parents who just realized that somehow, someway, they are no longer able to easily parent their own damn children as someone who may be childless just told the public what someone should or should not read.
Laughable.

The gf and I were contemplating moving to the Coeur d’Alene/Spokane area in the future, and them doing this with has completely changed our minds.
It is absolutely absurd to age gate libraries, and the folk that think it’s a great idea should be ashamed

Imagine being 29 and walking in with a 5, 3, and 1 year old and having to check in at the front 💀 😂

Because kids with devices in their pockets that can easily access the most profane filth you can possibly imagine are really in danger from reading the word “vagina” or something. /s

They rent out guns at the library?
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Must have a hidden back room at *that* library.
