Does this “law” apply to the Obama’s and the EXEMPT?

I bet it does not.

Meanwhile, Chinese factory managers in Africa hire helicopters on their days off and slaughter elephants from the air and send the tusks back home.

Isn’t there also a ban on Ebony? You know, that almost sounds like it should be a song.

I'd like to see a lib explain how ivory from an elephant tusk killed over 90 years ago will save an elephant today.

Thanks to liberal insanity our world is turning upside-down.

This will drive up the demand for black market ivory.

What if I take my piano and burn it on my front lawn. Will the elephant ghosts be appeased by the increase in global warming, thus making more of the world's climate suitable for elephants (of the non-wooly variety).

Hey...our old upright piano (with cracked sound board) has ivory keys...and it's less than 100 years old. Think the gubment will haul it off confiscate it? Anybody have the 800# so I can call and turn us in?

One more stupid law to ignore.

Executive orders aren’t law. Only Congress can make laws.

Mammoth ivory is still legal. I’ve got a beautiful Gold class Benchmade folder, Damascus with white mammoth ivory scales. It’s gorgeous. :-)
