Is there any federal law that prohibits minors from having porn, that will actually punish minors if they are caught?


I have always thought it is a state by state thing.

Never ran into a single federal law governing possession. As with federal laws where they play the interstate commerce card, the feds need to show the item, at some point, crossed state lines.

not necessarily.  they just need to prove that possessing the item would someone have an impact on interstate commerce.  see Gonzalez v. Raich.

How the fuck would porn affect me if I was to cross state lines with it?

because then it falls under federal jurisdiction, as well as the jurisdiction of whatever state you took it into.

that is not to say, however, that there is any federal law regulating the interstate transfer of pron.  there may well be, but i don't know the answer to that question.
