Let's imagine for a moment that word spreads through the grapevine: Handheld Lasers are to be made illegal, laser parts as well, customs checks will increase, and anything which looks like a laser will be tested with government issued batteries. You have a few months before the government can make the bill a law and you have to decide what your last case of lasers will look like. No more building and selling, looking for the perfect one, no more buying and trying. What you have at the end of that time period is what you get to keep.
Short of buying every laser you can get your hands on, because you are loaded like that, you must decide. What gets to stay, what has to go, and what must you obtain. Be realistic and think about bills you would have to pay, living expenses, food for your children(if you have any), etc. Exclude gas lasers because they are still legal.
Every laser you buy is another you cannot buy. Every choice you make has consequences. Every additional laser you own increases the risk of the government finding out your secret. Any more than 8 Handheld Lasers will cause you to be found.
So I ask you all: what will your kit be? What will your song in a listless world be? What will be your light in the darkness? Your order in a plane of chaos? What will be your anchor in the storm?
With the cost of those last two, that is about all I will have room for. I will enjoy my more niche blue wavelengths via my Argon Laser, and the 514nm line will have to suffice for a 520nm substitute. My priorities were beams I could see in the night sky...or my laser bunker :eg: and enough power with one laser to set some shit on fire in my rage over what was being lost.
I am interested to see how you lot with many many lasers would handle it. What would you give up to not be discovered? Also, how would you store these lasers? Lastly...for diode lasers you are allowed to have one additional diode on hand in case yours burns out.
Thanks,
Isaac
