Why is this restriction, though?

In Brazil they are trying to forbid those lasers, because people keep pointing them to the judge's eyes during soccer plays and blinding people in the streets, blowing up baloons, annoying people who are working. I have one myself, green one, can even blow up baloons and heat things up. Bought on aliexpress a couple years ago, still working, but the batteries dry really fast. It's AA batteries, so you can use rechargeables.

Wow, that is flat out retarded.

What if the laser could shoot a hole in someone? I assume then yo could buy it?

So lets get this straight. They won't sell them to the general public on health and safety grounds but you can own them if they are capable of killing someone?

I oppose the arming of civilians, but I'd actually say that makes some sense. A gun is dangerous but it is difficult to hide and everyone recognises them.

A powerful laser pointer looks like a harmless toy and could be carried anywhere in plain sight, yet they can instantly permanently blind people.

Do you know why it shows up like that? Because it has no IR filter. 95% of the emitted light is emitted as invisible infrared. Shitty Chinese diode manufacturers omit the part because it saves money and resellers get to tout the laser as high powered.

You can easily blind yourself or others with such a laser, because you cannot see the infrared light. Never, ever buy cheap green lasers unless you know for absolutely certain that a good IR filter is installed. Check LPF or independent reviews if there is any doubt.

You don't relize the point of the FCC retard.
>>51726900
Because they can't regulate the radiological emmisions from the devices, basically they are stringent on any device that can interfere with communication radio waves. HAM radios, lasers, FM antenna all have similar power regulations because of this. The exact same regulation exists for FM; you can broadcast at any frequency even if it is used as long as you're below 5 mW.

No shit, idiot. You think the chinks are selling a 9000000mw laser for 45 bucks?

Trying to read through this thread killed brain cells.

In case it hasn't been mentioned:

Laser POINTERS over 5mW are banned, and can't be legally sold or imported. Laser modules, even ones designed for pointers, are perfectly legal at any power. You can buy all the parts for a 2W laser pointer, and it should get right through customs.

The only direct laser diode colors you can get cheaply are red and infra red. The infra red ones can be made very cheap, very powerful, and can be diode pumped to modify the output frequency. There is a huge amount of light not visible to the human eye that comes out of diode pumped lasers. Good manufacturers use filters inline to remove or limit this. Chinese manufacturers usually don't. So there actually is a higher risk of you damaging your eyesight if you're particularly stupid when using them.
>>
>>51727461
>they sell these anywhere

No, they don't. The lasers you see in shops are weak as shit.
>>
>>51729228
>The infra red ones can be made very cheap, very powerful, and can be diode pumped to modify the output frequency.
Meant to add: this is how we get all the other commonly available green violet and blue colors in cheap diode lasers.

I own a 150mw Green Laser, bought it from Nova Lasers back in 2005. Still works perfectly.

I did a lot of research before my purchase and I'd suggest Nova, if they're even still in business. They'll ship to the US, unless the times have changed that much.

Lasers have a greater widespread potential for harm than a rifle imo.

Sure, a powerful rifle can blow people to bits within a few hundred yards IF YOUR COMPETENT, but a powerful handheld laser in anyones hands can blind people miles away, even its reflection, and you can easily blind pilots of commercial airliners.

I'm all in favor of banning all lasers above class 1 without a having a licence.
