I looked into the law, and from what I read possession in itself is not illegal, as they do have legal uses. They only become illegal with proof of intent to commit a crime, much like a claw hammer is not an illegal deadly weapon in the eyes of the law till you swing it at someones head.
As to getting them, if you can get a Russian bride online, well....
LOL......good points> Funny thing about laws everyone interprets them differently.
