Ivory


For people who insist that the inconvenience of having to conduct a background check prior to selling a gun is more important than blocking the sale to criminals, I suppose the concerns about elephants are a laugh compared to the right to trade in all those ivory-handled guns that are so common among gun owners.

  1. I asked my friend’s opinion about Glocks. He said that what he thinks doesn't matter; it wasn't his money or safety on the line. One’s preference does not matter in other’s decision to buy gun.

  2. Common?? Boy you can go WAY past stretching the truth, don't you. I once got to look at a 1911 govt model with a pair of ivory grips, $8500.00 grips on a $800.00 gun. Pearl grips are not as expensive, $2500.00 grip panels for a 1911. So the question is, just how do you get common ownership of ivory grips? Common, lols! They are about as common as your typical billionaire.

    Now that ivory has been outlawed, ivory anything is either worthless or priceless. It would be worthless to me for the fear of jail time for possessing any of it.

  3. Wow, Mike, your lying knows no bounds. "All those ivory-handled guns"? Ummmm, no. I've seen fake ivory and pearl grips a plenty, but I have Never yet seen actual ivory--and I've seen a hell of a lot of pieces. Only place I've seen real ivory was carvings in museums and one 100 year old set of bagpipes with Ivory accents and silver fittings--a set that the Piper constantly carried paperwork on showing that it was pre-ban ivory. Honestly, that is the only community I've ever seen where you could try to claim that pre-ban ivory was "common" and even then you'd be stretching the truth mightily as I have heard of three sets of pipes floating around the US among active pipers, but only actually seen one of them at all the competitions I've been to.

    1. When I said "all those ivory-handled guns," I was being facetious. Of the hundreds of millions firearms of guns in the US, the percentage this is of this type is insignificant.

    2. Facetious? Nah, just caught in another lie.
