On the drive home I wondered if the ATF could legally regulate direct energy weapons like lasers.
After all, a firearm is clearly defined in legalese as a weapon that propels a projectile by means of an explosion.
Or would the tool fearing idiots at another letter to the alphabet soup agency? BATFEL? And when hand held sonic stun tools become a reality will it become BATFELS? How about projectiles thrown by means of centripetal force? BATFELSC?
Or will the idiots suddenly realize that all objects are just "found weapons" waiting to be used?

Their aim is twofold: control of the people and taxation. Not sure which is foremost in their little minds, but that sure seems to be the emphasis.
Look at the recent report on importation of shotguns: just because something is used for a sport (3-gun competition) doesn't mean it has a sporting purpose. Excuse me? What planet are they from?? In what world does that even make a lick of sense?
My thoughts on the BATFE and the politicians who fund the agency are not fit for general audiences.
Resist.

Just remember, Catapults don't kill people, people kill people.
I'm pretty sure directed energy devices are already regulated if they exceed a certain wattage.
