Actually this is legal in many states (as in not illegal) and it's even specifically notes as legal in Maryland.... that of course is not to say that you'll get to do it without harassment. Try openly carrying a gun in most states and see what happens.
Censorship has a lot to do with 'why' as much as 'what'. If a library doesn't carry a book because they've never ordered it and no other reason then that's not censorship.

Why is free speech being given to an entity that cannot by it's nature vote?
