LOL... where's the jurisdiction? Washington, DC and other federal territories?
Can't extend into the States unless there's a specific reason - like interstate commerce.

And they'll pay for them, hence there are people who will produce and sell them. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that the people who supply videos to one group also supply videos to the others.

I know, the very idea that such people exist and walk amongst us makes me turn bilious green too. Apparently, there are posters right here on C-D who don't feel nauseous about this stuff.

See https://teddeutch.house.gov/uploaded...fact_sheet.pdf for an explanation of the law.)

You will be astounded to hear this, but videos can be (e)mailed across state lines. Yes! It's true! Modern technology is a wondrous thing, you should really look into it sometime.

Yay! Trump signs a bill after the legislative branch did the hard work.

All hail Trump! All hail Trump!

I suppose this might be 1 of the few bill-related decisions Agent Orange has done during his first term that many people will agree with.

Well, it cleared the House with a voice vote, and the Senate with unanimous consent.

So yes, both Ds and Rs in Congress thought it was a good idea - or at least, they didn't think it was a bad one.

I'm VERY GLAD Trump signed it.

Humans kill other humans every hour of every day. Is this not supposed to make us sick to our stomachs as well?

It has nothing to do with hunting.

I think this law is something that all of us can get behind, regardless of our politics.
Trump did nothing beyond signing a bipartisan, veto- proof bill.

And its the same creeps patting themselves on the back with "look how much we care about the animals" "climate" "environment", who also order the bombs that fall on the schools, shops and hospitals, that kill women, children, pets, livestock, wildlife...

And the electorate doesn't see the hypocrisy in any of it

Morons.
Something good bipartisan happened and still has to be made anti Trump.
Exactly why we're screwed.
