Sure, Feds have better things to do but it only takes a state rep to introduce a bill and have it passed to make it a state law...and, for some state reps, they like to get easy bills passed to help build their credentials. This is an easy, no brainer bill to pass because there would be very little opposition to it. So, irresponsible keepers ARE RUINING IT FOR THE RESPONSIBLE folks out there; it's not just drug dealers and other losers out there messing things up for us....and, based on what I see on this website, as much as I hate to say it, I am leaning towards supporting these types of bans as well (unless very strict procedures, protocols, licensing/fees, etc are instituted....Florida would be a good example).
>>if fed reg was going to happen it would be here bt now. the FEDs have bigger fish to fry. war, drugs, terror. in kentucky, afew years ago, hots were legal to keep. now not so. why??? was it a highly publicized envenomation?? NO. a drug dealer used hots to guard his stash. when he was busted agents discovered his unusual method of safeguarding his wares. the state rep made a case that if hot snakes were being used in such a manner, that they should be outlawed. and so they are. i know, and you know that this in utter nonscense. but it is what it is.
