It's not that absurd. Consider weapons (not guns, because the Supreme Court doesn't know how to read the 2A), or drugs (like Kratom, which has been causing issues lately). Do you agree they can regulate those? They're federally legal. That doesn't mean they can't be illegal locally. There are a lot of things that are legal federally but locally illegal.

    Again you are making arguments that are not equal. Communities have always had the right to regulate sales. That's why pornography bans and alcohol bans exist. But it is for the sale of the restricted product. You can drink alcohol in a dry county, you just have to drive across the county line.

    It is not only absurd, but it is unenforceable without forcing people to allow authorities to inspect their phones and computers or spy on their web traffic.

    They do not have the right to create a law that infringes on your personal rights to access legal content. It's so absurd it's more likely a stunt to influence ignorant voters than an ordinance they plan to ever act upon.

    AI products are rarely running locally. You're using the service of a company, who is not doing so for free. Even if you aren't paying, you're consuming the product. Like you said, they can regulate sales, like this.

    I agree, it's practically unenforceable (on the consumer). However, there are many such laws. They're usually used to add on to a crime that is already committed. Rarely does someone get pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt, for example.

    They do not have the right to create a law that infringes on your personal rights to access legal content.

    It's not legal content if they make it illegal. For example, like you said, they can do porn bans, right? If they restrict accessing AI products, that's the same thing, right?
