[UA] Explain American laws to me

[Luis]

Oh the wonderfull documentary channels :P

> GAMBLING.  So what is the deal here?  I know about Las Vegas, and

For what I know, which may be wrong, as the documentarys are probably
outdated, it's illegal in most states, with exceptions (I've never
understood that church bingo thing). then there's is this other "casino's on
ships" going in sea out of the inlfuence zone of the US to play.

> PROSTITUTION.  This is legal in some states, right?  Which ones?  Is it

I saw a documentary on this yesterday, they stated that it was only legal on
the sate of Nevada, and that it could only happen at least 50 milles away
from the cities, which resulted int he widespread of "ranchs" (that's what
they called them) which acted, for what I saw, as little more than prisons
into which you could go and pay to fuck with the prisoners.

> PORNOGRAPHY.  Legal everywhere?  How can it be sold?  Can you rent it

I've been to the sates twice, and it struck me as being really restricted. I
didn't see any porn in the newstands and no porn in video rentals.

> GUNS.  Are they really as common as TV implies?  Is it possible to buy
> automatic weapons over the counter?

Can't say anything more than what you find on the UA corebook.
