Funny, I don't remember anything about "minors" in the Bill of Rights... Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.. Vendors are of course free to follow any policy they want, for any reason. Movie theatres follow the G/PG/R/X system for PR, not obligation. Similarly with Walmart and their decision not to sell certain recordings. However Washington is a government, and the 14th has something to say: No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
