    I see the logic in the protective laws or executive orders, to be sure.
    But it doesn't seem sporting, just or moral to make it illegal to own something one may have had in one's home for decades, or family for generations. If they have, or were they to do so, it seems that there should at least be just compensation.

    Please forgive me and delete my post if I have been disrespectful, provocative or inflammatory. I don't think I have been. But I don't wish to offend.

    The USA ban is distinct from CITES and much stricter. The USA ban isn't a law, it's an Executive Order by President Obama. I haven't heard if it has been rescinded after he left office.

    It has complex rules concerning exactly what ivory articles are legal. You have to be able to document that the ivory was gathered "from the wild" before a certain date AND that it was within USA borders by a certain date AND that it was in your possession before the ban took effect.
