Another absurd piece of "feel good" legislation rightfully discarded. There's literally millions of antique objects out there where ivory is either a key component or an embellishment. Are we to suddenly destroy cherished family heirlooms, unique antiques, or historical items (including firearms) for a bit of ivory from an animal decades/centuries dead ?
Yes, you A-R types, prohibit (if you can ) trade in poached ivory. But your "universal ban" won't work. It renders the whole animal worthless -except for contraband. OTOH controlled game control values the entire animal contributing to the local population its protein and bone and the licensee the inedible trophy. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
