Rand Paul is lone no vote on bill making pointing laser pointers at airplanes illegal.
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul was the sole "no" vote Thursday night on a measure that would make it a federal crime to aim a handheld laser pointer at an aircraft.

His reason behind the no vote?

"Paul told reporters after Thursday's vote that he believed the laser-pointer issue was one best handled by the states, not the federal government.

"There are a lot of states that already have laws, and I think states ought to take care of it," Paul said."

Thats a great idea there, Rand! How about we disband the FAA as well so that states can control their own airways!

Idiot.

Laser pointers are a zero issue at flight altitudes. When flying at low level from takeoff or landing yes the pointers could be deadly however there in "a state" at that point. The federal government is already too damn powerful as it is.

The federal government has NO CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO MAKE SUCH A LAW. It makes not one difference if it is a good idea, when the federal government acts outside of it constitutional powers, you have tyranny. Some of you need to read the 18 powers given to congress via the constitution. Our government needs to be shoved back in the box the founding fathers created for them. The power to make such laws reside in the STATES!!!
