I'm sure the asian millionaires, whose desire for ivory carvings and other trinkets is fueling the poaching, are laughing their asses off.

I have some piano key ivory from grandpa's piano store-went belly up in 1949. Still have a post card advertising "Pianos, $10 and up!". Molon labe!

This does not just include the sale of ivory, it also includes the export and import of same. Any of you who has a shotgun or double rifle with so much as an ivory sight bead may find your gun confiscated if you take it out of the country to hunt, and attempt to bring it back home.
You will be dealing with a very gun-unfriendly government, and you will spend enormous time and money trying to prove age and provenence. You will probably never see your gun again. This is what happens when supposedly intelligent men vote for someone with a 100% anti-gun voting record and expect a different result.
November mid-terms are coming. This would be a good time to register to vote and join the NRA to both send a message and neuter the Golfer-in-Chief. Thank Keith: I suspect a lot of members here including me overlooked the ivory bead front sight potential issue. I for one have ivory beaded doubles. Jim

Well here's a story about an investigation launched last week in North Carolina where 35,570 people were found to have the same name and date of birth... and voted in multiple states. It's probably just the tip of the iceberg, and the real reason the Democrats are 100% against voter I.D.

A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

I am sure that the rising price caused by enforced scarcity will do wonders in discouraging elephant poaching.

I always thought that the right thing to do would be to take all the confiscated ivory, and dump it on the market for $5/lb. Make the bottom drop out of the market, and raise funds for medicine or water wells in Africa. Every time they burn it, the price goes up. Idiots!

I swear - you folks are some paranoid MFers. If I worried about all the crap you do I'd never sleep.
so have you written to your congress people to bring this to their attention or just whine about it like gun owners do everything??

Well:
This is certainly a potential problem for those of us with ivory stocked pistols and revolvers most of which were so equipped decades ago. The value of one of these will be greatly diminished particularly if the grips were factory provided.
The way I'm currently seeing this is if you want to sell or trade an ivory gripped pistol the grips would have to be discarded.
