Laser Pointers Classed as Weapons in Australia
An anonymous reader was the first to point to an article in the Sydney Morning Herald which says that New South Wales (of which Sydney is the capital) will prohibit the possession of certain types of laser pointers, defining them as weapons, and make it an offense to carry any laser pointer "without a lawful reason." (Similar coverage at news.com.au) Western Australia apparently beat NSW to the punch, and the federal government of Australia announced earlier this month it will treat laser pointers much like firearms, which, in Australia, is really saying something. The restrictions come as a reaction to incidents (not confined to Australia) in which the lasers were trained on planes, distracting pilots.
I'm pretty sure his point is that most laser pointers are not class ii and that the dishonest and deceitful cunt who he responded to is full of shit.
And "chump" as an insult? Nice one! The retarded 7 year old kid down my block grew out of that a few weeks back.
Try better next time, you sheeple fuck.
Yoou hubris-laden son of a bitch. You're one of those tight-assed elites who strut around, observing other people using things which don't appear in your supercilious lifestyle, then pontificates, "What need has anyone of [whatever the fuck I cast a jaundiced eye on today]?
Oh, yes -- you are the measure of all men. There is none like unto you.
Most likely, you're the kind of simpering pissant who thinks it would be just fine if lesser beings were saddled with fees and fines to cover the cost of prison and the salaries of police who capture them engaging in behavior of which you and your priggish friends disapprove.
Fuck you in the mouth, you sanctimonious bitchette.
You're an idiot.
How's that gun ban working out for you? Oh, that's right, the bad guys didn't get the message, and your violent-crime rates went up. Good jorb.
No. It's perfectly legal in civilized countries. If your government doesn't trust you with a pocketknife, you ought to do something about it.
