The same false arguments / tactics used by the gun ban crowd can be easily used on porn.
"Porn causes rape / pedophilia, etc, etc".
I'd think very carefully about supporting positions that can set those kinds of precedents. Sooner or later the ball will fly your way in that environment, I don't care what your personal issue of choice is.

sorry, but reality says you are wrong, porn doesn't cause rape / pedophilia, and guns don't create lunatics.
the same thing cause both, it is a mental condition, there are arguments about crimes of passion, crimes of retribution, but the core of the main issue is the mental condition's of those involved.
now, and this is the important part, here is the difference that renders your argument completely ludicrous.
People with pre determined mental conditions which draw them to commit crimes such as rape are turned on by Rape porn, which is just as illegal and banned as some people think guns should be, sic minded people into pedophilia are turned onto and driven toward that sickness by pornographic material that is 100% illegal and 100% banned. Legal pornography does nothing to induce these crimes. Realistically, my last comment is irrelevant, even if legal pornography did make a rapist want to commit a rape, the porn in no way facilitates the crime, it does not tie the victim up, if does not tear her clothes off, it does not prevent her from screaming.
now, at the complete opposite end of the spectrum, a firearm does more to facilitate the crime of murder than any other readily available weapon, it depersonalizes the crime, it speeds up the process to where someone reacts before thinking twice, the availability of a gun 100% makes the crime easier. The availability of porn makes 0% difference in the ease of committing the crime.
in fact, the kicker is, the presence of a gun facilitates rape, not the presence of porn.
argument as weak as saying "you can still do that around here most of the time".
