St. Paul, MN just recently banned sugar gliders, here's a quote from the "Star Tribune" stating one of the reasons: "City Council members agreed, noting that it’s hard to tell in advance whether someone will be a responsible pet owner. And that, they said, is what inspired the ban." Here's the a link to the article

Honestly, the reasoning for that ban can be applied to any and all pets, I hope that it won't open up a loophole to ban any pet a law maker doesn't like.
