OK maybe I did put my point of view a bit too forcefully. (BTW I did email the two ministers and my local member re the legitimate users of Laser Pointers). The point I was trying to make was while we are watching the fish in the frypan, the BBQ is going on behind us.
Because of the stupidity of a minority, a piece of equipment used by some of us is now subject to legal control, this has happened before and it will again. You can't make it idiot proof, someone always invents a better idiot.
Don't blame governments, they are driven by opinion and the will to be re-elected. Don't blame the police, they don't make the laws, only enforce them whether they individually agree or not. This law is small in the scheme of things, you are not being banned from owning this instrument, only have to licence it because of a few airheads. Says more about our society than our lawmakers.
