5.19.15 SB 913, Mark Hass’s idiotic ivory ban bill will be heard tomorrow in the House Judiciary Committee. This bill is so moronic it seeks to protect animals that are extinct. The bill makes a few exceptions that really make no sense. For example, you could have a firearm with ivory components if the firearm was made before 1976 and contained less than 20% ivory by volume. The bill offers no insights into how you prove when the gun was made. That would be up to the police to decide. When the bill’s sponsor, Mark Hass, was asked how one determined the “volume” of a firearm, he responded “By volume…” Ok Mark, we got it now. This bill would not save a single elephant or wooly mammoth. It would render valueless expensive and legally acquired firearms, knives and countless other items. This amounts to nothing more that government sanctioned theft. Please tell the House Judiciary Committee to vote no on SB 913.
