Tipper Gore's position on this was as a concerned parent. Of course you have to take into account who her husband is. If it had been my mother in her shoes nothing would have happened. Her goal in the matter didn't seem to be censoring the music so much giving parents more options to monitor what their children are listening to. She even stated that the PMRC was not looking for censorship.

The Parents Music Resource Center has asked the record executives to create an industrywide uniform standard defining what constitutes explicit and violent material. We of the PMRC are not trying to ban any songs, and we oppose censorship or government regulation. Instead, we believe that the music industry itself and its media outlets should voluntarily cut down on violent and sexually explicit material.

It ended up being the senate committee that pushed harder for censorship.
I agree that if I think its ok for my 6 year old to listen to Torture Killer, thats my choice to make. I don't think anyone should be able to tell me any different.
