Maybe these things go in cycles. Years ago, Boston was known for banning books.
Seems to me "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and "Peyton Place" both got big publicity mileage out of having been "banned in Boston!"
Try banning a book in Boston, these days. (In other words, they take the 1st Amendment very seriously now, as they should.)
One can hope they'll eventually take the same turn on the 2nd Amendment... but I am not holding my breath.
