I guess if you want to say selling to irresponsible people is the problem then why is a ban on the item being sold the solution? If that were the case then:

Pit Bulls and a lot of other known potentionally dangerous breeds should be banned because of some bad owners.

Cats should be banned because of some feral cats doing damage to wildlife because of some people releasing them into the wild.

Guns should be banned because of some people who abuse them.

Alcohol should be banned because some people drink and drive.

Cigarettes should be banned because some people want to force other people to breathe their smoke.

In each of these cases there are already laws to try and correct the action of the people abusing these things. A total ban wouldn't work. Look at prohibition on alcohol. Didn't work.

I believe in freedom and with that comes responsibility by the user and owner as well.

At some point they will get to something YOU like and are BLIND to the potential problems of.

Maybe you will have another fellow hobbyist, smoker, drinker, dog-cat owner let you know "I TOLD YOU SO". Wow what a help that will be to you.

By the way I don't keep any large snakes so I don't have a dog in this fight BUT I am smart enough to realize this is not the answer and needs to be stopped now. Just because some people have been irresponsible doesn't mean punish everyone.

Ps-I think this will kill a lot of herp shows since it will be illegal to cross state lines with some of your herps. Why pay a high price for a table to just bring some of your stuff.
