“Oooh, maybe we can buy them from there.”

Well, this sounds like a good idea, but... a company sets up shop in SC (pretty capital-intensive, BTW); then, the feds will set up border agents to check cars for illegal lightbulbs. A tax will be set up for enforcement on everyone (on the assumption that you are purchasing illegal lightbulbs). Far fetched?

Then the “feds” will need to be arrested and jailed.

How about mail order?

I don’t think it’s illegal for us citizen types to purchase lightbulbs. Just illegal for manufacturers to sell them here. If it ends up legal in SC presumably we can buy them for our own use.

When the federal ‘food police’ bill passed last year and was signed into law, it included thousands of new federal ‘police’ to prevent ‘smuggling’.

No doubt, the feds will have light bulb police too, to prevent smuggling. And there wont just be fines or a ‘tax’. It will be jail time.

(so have a few illegal aliens in your car too, to avoid your car from being searched)
