Sometimes it takes them a while, as their "Violations Nazi's" are very busy.
I mentioned Tusk in the listing titles, so they jumped on me immediately. I
have disputed their policies for many years and that puts me on their "List".

Cue sales are not affected by this......do you think Big Brother is going to come and confiscate our pool cues....what's next?
Oh yeah, guns....right? DUH.....The law is simply a manifestation of the USA position about ivory exports and imports into the United States...
that would mean something that's not already in the USA, like all the legal ivory that's been here for years.
This is pretty comical......anyone literate can read the law and see the "timeframe" and "boundaries" of the law.
Boy of boy.....there are a lot more "Doom Day Preppers" on the Forum than I ever imagined......
Say fellows.....you had betta go check your food stores and ammo supply just in case.......OMG!

This may have an impact on AZ for sales/wanted area now...especially if AZ has some legal responsibilities to enforce the new change or at least make it aware that sales of such items are illegal now between states.
Agreed that this information is important to be listed here.
Maybe the mod can post a job for these forum police..should paid them 10 cents for every thread reported...just feel sorry for them as they do work really hard...can't imagine how many hours they put in a day to police this forum for the good of everyone
. Would be nice if they do follow the rules as well though.

Cuemaster98, why don't you take your own advice; it would pay for your Gold Membership.
And using your suggested commission, you'd only have to report one thread per day.
And DrGonzo...have you really reviewed the friggin' law.......it's enlightening.
I really give up....Everyone just needs to read The US Fish & Wildlife Regulations.
There is nothing about intra or interstate sale of "any and all ivory" artifacts, etc. The law embodies
the USA's stalwart support of protection of endangered species and it regulates our borders.

Thanks for the reminding me...didn't even realized I didn't renew yet.
For crying out loud, I think I'm not the only one annoy here with you guys bumping every darn day about someone breaking the rules like you own the site. Please, let the mod do their job...really not your responsibility is all I'm saying along with a bunch of others.
I'm sure you have better things to do....however, informational post is always welcome.

Surely DHS will be part of this, as ivory, along with baseball cards and everything else under the sun is now a matter of national security. They'll also likely create a NEW agency with some illegally appointed czar and a massive budget to police this issue. In the end, billions of tax payer dollars will be spent to hire hundreds if not thousands of 'robots' with badges to harass anyone that even says the word ivory. All of this of course will do little to actually save a species.

Significantly Restrict Domestic Resale of Elephant Ivory: We will finalize a proposed rule that will reaffirm and clarify that sales across state lines are prohibited, except for bona fide antiques, and will prohibit sales within a state unless the seller can demonstrate an item was lawfully imported prior to 1990 for African elephants and 1975 for Asian elephants, or under an exemption document.
Interesting your take on it. Either way, it deserves discussion for people who sell and purchase such products. Please run along and tattle to the powers that be.
Many cuemakers advertise that they have "BONE IVORY" or some such material. Bone Ivory sounds good but it is made from the leg BONEof a camel or cow. It is not Ivory...JER
Difficult to enforce, certainly, but still a risk. You can bet that there will be random checks, and perhaps the technology exists (or will exist in the near future) to detect ivory in a package...that is not too far a leap.
While I certainly think that it is ludicrous to enact a law and enforce it ex post facto, it can be done. I am sure it will be challenged in court.

Scary stuff really. I currently am waiting on a cue and shaft from two different sellers. The tracking shows that BOTH shipments are being reviewed my US customs. As the cues are going to Canada, this is a first for me......I have NEVER previously experienced US Customs doing something like this on an item being exported - Canada customs sure, but not US Customs. :angry:
Good thing the shaft is a predator z and the cue is a mark bear full splice. Neither containing ivory.
