Last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a non-lethal weapon — once reserved only for the military — as a new tool for local law enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard.
FDA Approves Laser Dazzler for Local Law Enforcement

GLARE Enforcer laser dazzler.

New Scientist reports that at the SHOT show in January, a conference for professionals involved with sport shooting, hunting and law enforcement, the 200-milliwatt GLARE Enforcer was unveiled by B.E. Meyers Electro-Optics as the first laser dazzler available for domestic use.

Laser dazzlers work by temporarily blinding a subject using a green laser with no risk of killing the person, unlike the risk associated with tasers and guns outfitted with rubber bullets. But according to New Scientist, there is still risk involved that has some questioning if they should actually be used, even with FDA approval.

So this shit is CLASS 3B ?!?!? 200mW????

What the FUCK. Now we can be either have our retinas burned, tazed into a coma, or pepper-sprayed into convulsions.

:picardface:

I see a fortune being made by lawyers suing cops on behalf of those who are permanently blinded or have damaged retinas.

Furthermore....how in the HELL does the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) have ANY jurisdiction over these types of weapons and related technology.

Drones in our skies
Lasers in our eyes
Illegitimate government
Doesn't hear our cries

<=== Wants one.

:D

Manufacturers have "exemptions" from the FDA to sell these types of laser systems, however ONLY to .mil, .gov, or leo. Good luck buying one as a civilian. You can buy the components to build one yourself, but you can not sell it.

This laser outputs enough power to severely damage the retina, even when "modulated" (pulsed). Not to mention the effects of viewing the dazzler through magnified optics.

As a civilian, this means laser protective glasses or filters on spotting scopes or binoculars should be considered...but you'll love this part - most laser filters ARE ALSO RESTRICTED ITEMS!

Cute huh?

are these the edible kind?

Nice, but you know they hear them. But are laughing behind our backs.

Why?

Because the civilian law enforcement mechanism is being militarized pronto.

Dude, I totally *do* own one.

1 watt baby. Burns wood, melts plastic, blinds evil doers.

The FDA has authority because YOU ARE A RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST WHO SUPPORTS THE SECOND AMENDMENT!!! YOU QUESTION TAXATION AND LEGALIZED ABORTION AS WELL!!! THAT'S WHY!!!!
GUARDS!!!!!!!!!!

^ Exactly correct ^

I started gearing up to (you'll love this) start America's first civilian laser weapons company. I still have my prototype laser pistols. And then the fucking FDA says *bang*, you no makey laser guns, crazy right-wing mad scientist.

Bastards.

Change *do* to *did* now to save time...

Remember, I'll be seeing you in the not-too-distant future.

I'll get you one, if I still can.

You don't know what being a man feels like until you carry an honest-to-goodness light sabre with you around downtown Austin, just *hoping* some low life will fuck with you, and give you a chance to light his eyelids on fire in front of his friends.

Awesome!

I'll paint myself green, don a tunic, & speak in reverse while hobbling down 6th Street for the test run!
