| incendi Does the Food and Drug Administration actually have the power to mandate warning labels on things that are not even remotely foods or drugs? Serious question, they may, it just seems a bit out of their jurisdiction. |

I already can't get the laser I want because of import restrictions. I want to see if I can use one on my weeds in the cracks and spaces in the concrete, rather than one of the flaming torch things. |

In all honesty, there's not much for a New York Senator who's not running for re-election to do in July of an election year. What's he gonna do, go stump for Claire McCaskill? |

I thought we were done with the laser-pointer thing. For a while there you couldn't go to any public event without some a-hole farking everything up with a laser-pointer. You wouldn't think that you could screw up a laser-Floyd show with another laser, but it happened. |

It's better than the tea bagger bible pounders who get bored and have been writing penis-goes-where legislation because the only way to preserve Freedom is through Big Government Fascism. /why not just make it a serious crime to point them at airplanes instead of banning them? |

Uh, guys, are we not overreacting a bit here. What he proposed sound reasonable enough. Laser pointer good for office, not for... MrLint: Is he seriously saying that someone is shining a hand held laser at an airplane at a mile away.?? Yes, it does happen, many times. People went to jail for it. |

Brandyelf: I can see his point. Har har. I hate those things because they sell them to kids who think they're so cool. It's fine if they're using them to entertain cats, but I've seen them used to blind a goalie during a kids' hockey game, the whole pilot thing, etc. They get treated like toys but can really injure someone. Lawsuits all 'round, I say. |

While I am completely against shining laser pointers at commercial and military aircraft, I think we should go all-out at laserpointing aircraft spraying chemtrails on us. Since the government insists they don't exist, no harm done shining it at a non-existent chemtrail sprayer. |

Lasers are both a part of science and modern military kit. They are useful tools and educational toys. If he considers them to be destructive weapons then I believe they would fall under the 2nd amendment. To which: Schumer can march his nanny state authoritarian arse back under whichever rock it crawled out from under. /The people have a right to own technology. |

Crop dusting? No, planes that are not leaving contrails that soon dissipate, but rather spray a white substance that expands from its trail and lingers for hours. Whatever government operation does this, it's like off and on. Sometimes they'll go apeshiat like the last time I was in Death Valley where it used to be always pure blue skies, sprayed some days til it was all white. But those aren't clouds, clouds move. The chemtrails just hang there. |

It's interesting to see that Chuck Schumer is going after laser pointers, instead of guns. There was a time where he was Mr. Gun Control personified. I guess he doesn't want his party to lose the White House. |

I guess he doesn't want his party to lose the White House. I'm pretty sure he did other things occasionally even when he was advocating for more gun control. Do you also find it interesting when he's eating dinner and not advocating for gun control? |

I think that planes are in less danger from laser pointers than school buses. Ive lost count od the number of kids I've suspended for shooting those things at the eyes of their drivers. |

And are Republicans the ones trying to destroy the nuclear industry, keep the little brown people in the 17th Century, and reduce most people in the US to a subsistence agricultural starvation diet?

There really shouldn't be a way to get the high power ones without being slapped in the face with a hundred warnings about how ridiculously dangerous they are. I mean, you should be able to get them, but holy shiat are they dangerous. If you've seen a green laser, you know how much more powerful they are then red. Now go google up some of the even higher power ones. They can pop balloons and light matches. You can rig them up to kill mosquitoes. Those things are not to be taken lightly. |

Polling after polling show that certain common sense regulations are overwhelmingly supported by Americans. The issue isn't losing an election. The issue is the worst congress. Ever. |
