    His son got caught with (already illegal) child porn, and it hurt his sons career options. So this man’s idea is to ban all porn… despite the reason for his tirade being already illegal.

    He probably thinks regular porn is a “gateway drug” to more extreme porn, eventually culminating in what his son was caught with. This isn’t a super uncommon view, and isn’t even limited to weird fundies or even the right. I don’t agree with it personally, but I’ve seen it enough times from people on enough sides that I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s part of that crowd.
