And in regards to forbidding local municipalities from passing their own ordinances for the issue as well.

The "small" government people once again championing an idea that is ludicrously difficult to enforce without ENORMOUS governement intrusion into the private lives of citizens.

So...guns? No regulation or oversight AT ALL or its Armageddon!!!!
Pregnancies? We must ensure that women are 'punished' appropriately and carry every fetus to term without exception!!!

Corporate regulation of waste dumping? Too onerous and burdensome for business owners, government strangling innovation...
Bathroom usage? HOLY SHIT!!! We need to have police stationed in front of EVERY public facility across the nation!!!

If its good for everyone, we don't want ANYONE watching or looking...
If it literally affects one or two people though, we want EVERYONE to look, watch and know!!!

Fuck these retards already...can't we pass a law that would make it completely legal to slap them in the mouth every time they offer up some inane bullshit reason to fob off their religious nuttery on the population???
