There are a lot of things you can do with a tunable laser that you don't want every Tom, Dick and Khalil doing. We want to know what people are going to do with the equipment and that affects the export decision. This is my point with weapons in general, is that while you can do some horrible things, most people don't. I concede that high capacity magazines make poor marksmen more dangerous. But with a .30 - 06 I can pretty much hit what I aim at out to 300 yards with predictable results. Maybe further on a good day. There is bullet drop, but with a good guess of horizontal wind velocity and proper sighting, a deer rifle is a deadly thing. Even a .22 is pretty deadly with a good marksman. Combine that with another system (as you indicated) - we have a real problem.
