Did you think we were all just blowing smoke? Banning the ownership of ivory

I'm grateful for that

I'm grateful for that

Me too, not that I own any elephant ivory or would ever move to NY but just think about the people that live there and the precedent it could set if something like that was successful.

Nor do I and I feel the same as you

to your first point, I find it a little unfortunate that Kniferights seems to be increasingly under the umbrella of the NRA. Personally, I'd like to see Kniferights stand alone as an advocacy group focused on the utility aspect of knives. But that's besides the point entirely, a conversation to be had another time perhaps.

to the rest, all I can say is 'huh?'. I'm not following you there. However, I will note here that I'm aware of what plant species are protected, and tend to leave them be when I'm building and clearing trails.

the NRA has been successful in supporting conservation efforts in the past, (through taxation!) and the point I was trying to make is that their powerful lobbying arm could be utilized for educating people about the value of sport hunting wrt endangered species. There are a lot of NRA members, (claimed to be 5 million) who could be mobilized in these efforts.
