In Belgium, laser pointers are already illegal. This hasn't stopped anyone from possessing them and in fact the only time i actually owned them was when I was a kid.
Just to point out that while it probably should be a job for the police, that's not going to be a very viable solution in the short term.
Given the many different risks towards we are exposed, how many people suffer permanent damage per year due to laser pointer injuries? Is there really a case that we have to do much more?
To me this simply doesn't seem like the kind of risk that our existing political structures are ill equipped to handle.
