I am a crafter...I buy fabric and notions to make clothing and other items, and also purchase ready to wear and embellish it with embroidery and sell it to others. Many of my items are for children and babies. I just recently learned of this legislation from another crafter who makes wooden toys for children. This legislation will also affect grandmas knitting afghans and booties for babies to sell at church bazaars.

From what I have read, this legislation will even affect those reselling toys and other children's items at garage sales. This has serious implications for many small businesses. Offenders face steep fines and even prison.

We will have to go underground like they do in third world countries. We'll still have garage sales, just have to keep the garage door closed and by invitation only. Keep sentries outside with family band radios. My family couldn't afford new kid's clothes so we'll have to get creative. I will defend the right to reuse items with force if necessary.
