A federal appeals court has declared unconstitutional a New York law that imposed significant restrictions on the sale and display of ivory and rhinoceros horns by antiques dealers. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the dealers, stating that the law infringed upon their First Amendment rights.
