Bob, I've known you for 30 plus years and you KNOW how I feel about restrictive laws. We have to fight these new regulations just as everyone else does on any bill they disagree with. I would be in total agreement on an all out attack on this new bill by Senator Nelson except for one small detail. It's NOT smart to go to a gunfight at the O.K. Corral armed with a boy scout knife. WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE LOBBIEST THAT ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO WIN? We can't even come together collectively as an Industry. Read back on the Retic Forums about attacks on people keeping big snakes with herpers willing to sacrifice them in order to be allowed to keep their own personal interest herps. These same folks don't realize that the hidden agenda is to outlaw all herps not just Retics and Burmese. I and others have pushed and prodded folks to join PIJAC and USARK and its like pulling teeth to get someone to pay for a $25 membership much less donate thousands of dollars for lobbiest. How do you propose we fight this? You tell me a better way and I'll fight to the end.....TC
