Fair dinkum!
They might as well ban HID headlights too......
Another revenue source for the state police and associated governments, next thing you know you'll have to have a 3 point lockable gunsafe bolted to the wall and floor just to store the thing!

I agree, it makes me wonder what kind of drugs the Victorian government is on. Why make a green laser which can be used in education a prohibited weapon and not a speargun which is classed as a controlled weapon (a knife is also a controlled weapon) and all you need is a lawful excuse to possess, carry or to use such a weapon.
I use this point of the speargun to hightlight a very important point, a speargun can be used to kill another person. This is true as there was a case in Melbourne were a Husband purchased a speargun took it home and killed is pregnant wife and then three days later is young daughter, dumping the bodies at the local land fill and then going on National TV to say that his wife had run of with his child. Had speargun been classed as a prohibited weapon they maybe still alive.
Also how many times have you hear on the news, read in the paper about some person being stabbed with a knife, lots of time. Have you hear of any one being injured by a laser, zero.
Making lasers a prohibited weapon in Victoria is purely a revenue raise such as speed cameras which do nothing it the way of reducing the road total. But of cause what do you expect of a government that can not organised a r**t in a wh*** house.
That ends my say on the subject.
