When will they pass one limiting ISIS's ability to behead people?

That’ll help. Subhumans who burn people alive, chop heads, rape, have sex slaves, hang gays and kill Christians will happily obey this new law.

Listen up - the solution is to turn the subhumans into worm food.

It is not profit if they give artifacts to congress members at cost of acquisition.

What this will do will be what similar laws have done for Ivory, certain exotic woods, and the value of items made from those. Such muddling of the market will leave legitimately owned items in question, and the market value of those items will crash. No doubt the State will reserve to itself the right to invade your home looking for such, and to seize any item that looks ‘questionable’, leaving you bearing the burden of proving innocence and suing for the return of your stuff, even in the case of family heirlooms which have documented provenance.
