You'll need to be more detailed, because "not keeping promises" is pretty much the definition of a politician and half the people of any given country will say it's "falling apart" under the current government.
Most lasers over 5mW are already illegal to import to the US unless you have a specific commercial or industrial purpose. The lasers in the pictures are almost certainly at least 5mW or higher to be that visible in the air.
Laser pointers can cause permanent damage, but it's really damned hard to do at any distance against a moving target. It's akin to banning slingshots with rubber pellets because they could cause permanent blindness against a close range stationary target.
Police and cats have much in common 1) They both enjoy stalking weaker prey 2) They both enjoy toying with their prey 3) They both have a love/hate relationship with lasers 4) There's tons of videos on YouTube of them both doing dumb things
My understanding is that they didn't really have much of a choice in who to vote for. It was between a known bad guy and a probably bad guy, so they went with the latter due to lack of choices to begin with. Is it really a free and democratic election if you don't have choices?
If lasers are being sold for cheap on the street, odds are good that they're producing a wide range of wavelengths. The cheaper the laser, wider the range of wavelengths it emits. It's one of the reasons better lasers come with an IR filter to help reduce accidental blinding of observers.
Most laserpointers are 1mW or less, so they don't reflect enough particulates in the air unless it's foggy. The green ones in the video are usually at least 5mW, which is powerful enough to reflect off enough dust in the air to be visible under normal conditions.
It's one of the big errors that scifi movies have with lasers in space combat (the other error being that laser pulses move slow enough to be seen). even with insanely powerful lasers, they'd be practically invisible in space because there's nothing for them to reflect off. Unless, of course, you want to pretend that all laser space battles take place in dust or gas clouds...
I'd be all for taking that $13500 in taxes in throwing in an extra thousand or two if it meant my health care coverage actually covered stuff relevant to me. I don't mind paying the money in taxes if I get the benefit too. I do mind paying the money to an insurance company that goes to covering other people but leaves me uncovered for things I need.
Because the government really, really wanted to know all about your trip to see the World's Largest Ball of Yarn. SPOILER: Odds are that most details of your life are utterly boring to just about everyone else on the planet. Government included.
When there's this much data to sift through, they're not going to be idly browsing it.
Ok, but who pays for the stuff that I can't afford and my insurance doesn't cover? Or is your point just easier to make if you ignore the part where my hearing aids aren't covered?
I pay about $65/wk ($3380/yr) into my employer healthcare. They pay about 3 times that ($10140/yr). Multiply that by the roughly 450 employees on the plan and it's the single greatest expense they have after employee salaries and taxes.
Personally, I'd much rather take that $13500 (my cost plus theirs) in my paycheck so I could shop around for my own insurance. The employer offered plan includes tons of crap for women and children that don't apply to me, while omitting many things that would be a huge help to me such as hearing aids.
If someone high up in the federal government puts pressure on a state/county/local government, then that state/county/local government will most likely comply. As it is, it's probably one of many methods they're using to get the word out... I really doubt their thought process is "Whelp, made a change.org petition. Guess that's all I can do."

And several people died at Woodstock. Damn those murderous hippie bastards.
Odds are a good portion of those deaths were accidental or had other conditions causing them.

I don't want to be a Target. I'd much rather be a Walmart.
So what you're saying is that once they go Caucasian, they never go Asian?
Well, it's no moon...

Hmmm, so you're, what? 12? 13? Surely anyone past the ninth grade would have a better response than that.

Just because you're paying them doesn't mean you're not asking. Just like Walmart can refuse you service even though you're paying them.

All of our Dell laptops at work have the USB/eSATA combo ports
Just because it's not funny doesn't mean it's a credible threat. If that were the case, pretty much everybody would be jailed at one point or another.

That was my first thought?
Look up at Japan! It's an OS! It's a CPU! I don't know what the fuck it is! Tizen!
How are we tracking them, given that they're apparently traveling faster than light (for most definitions of "edge of our solar system")?

Total Annihilation came out in 1997 and you're just reporting on it now?
Oh wait, wrong ARM and wrong clones.
So what you're saying is that two sites said "We Don't Have Any News Yet, But We Will Later"?
