Quote:the effects of the ivory ban would be disastrous for American gun owners and sportsmen.
Ivory has been used in gun making for centuries, just as it has been used in fine furniture, jewelry, or musical instruments. Ivory is widely used in rifle and shotgun sights and sight inserts, and for ornamental inlays in rifle and shotgun stocks. Custom handguns—such as General George S. Patton’s famous revolvers—are also often fitted with ivory grips.[1] Ivory is also widely used in related accessories used by hunters and fishermen, such as knife handles, and handles for gun cleaning equipment and tools.
What crap..
Certain Ivory pieces are currently okay to trade under grandfather provisions. The proposed ban would effectively stop the trade of grandfathered pieces. For instance, you could not sell George S Patton's pistols because they contain ivory grips.
The NRA supports the ban on the sale and importation of new ivory pieces.
