I am not replying to Onlyshawn, but I just wish to get my comment at the top.
I totally agree with this ban, I used to love these lasers myself, I've owned a couple of red ones... Until I got hit by a green one when cycling back from work, the guy was in a car. My eyes felt like they were burning my vision was bad for about a day, and after effects were still visible, from that day onward I've never liked lasers, they are to dangerous. You only have two eyes, look after them guys and girls.
@Pavan - because Technex actually has something worthwhile and constructive to say!! Not a silly comment like OnlyShawn said.
These green lasers are an extremely serious topic!! Would you want to shine a green laser at a 747 full of people??! only to have those pilots blinded and they crash that plane into the ground killing thousands?!?!?

"I am not replying to Onlyshawn, but I just wish to get my comment at the top"?
What makes his opinion so damn important that it just HAS to be at the top?
I didn't even finish reading Technex's comment. The first line says it all.

Killing thousands eh, must be a 747 with an extension, those things are a pest anyway.
