    Re: U.S. set to approve python ban

    So, what does this mean exactly? Are all nine species listed in the Lacey Act going to be banned? Or just the Burmese and African Rock?

    Wow, no. It still includes all nine listed previously. Guess my breeding plans are shot. As is my dream of owning a BCI in general. Thanks US for continuing to throw our rights out the window.

    Re: U.S. set to approve python ban

    I was particularly infuriated by a quote at the end of another article where one of the Senators or Reps said something to the effect of "The only people complaining/effected are reptile importers. And that's ridiculous." That obviously is not verbatim, but that was the gist.

    I'm sorry but I really can't see this happening...maybe a special ban for FL but a national ban doesn't make any sense. If by some strange reason they pass it...I doubt it will last long..just my 2 cents...

    In short Yes. Thats why Gun Shows are packed because we are afraid of what is going to happen in Washington. So people are buying them while they can.

    I agree with you on this one. This is one more reason Ron Paul is sounding better and better.
