Can someone explain in layman's terms about the ivory and such. It seems to me that some people are unwitting criminals as explained here. Is it any product made from the remains of one of these animals in question.

The 100 year grandfathering and 15% doesn't seem so generous. I don't knowingly posses such items but knife and straight razor scales could go beyond 15% easily.
What if I pick up a what-not at a thrift store made from the bones of some African animal without knowing it?

I'm not a fan of African trophy hunting, but this one seems scary to me
