How does this relate to us flashlight enthusiasts?
Could there be a conspiracy here? This could be some sort of prelude of an attempt by the Federal Government to take high powered flashlights out of the hands of it’s citizens. New York has already banded soft drinks over 16oz! “When flashlights are outlawed, only outlaws will have flashlights”.
Or this could be an attempt by an influential up and coming industrial complex with governmental contacts to get an unfair advantage in the market place for inferior lighting products? I point you to the “Lampe de Poche” thread HERE
At any rate, I think there is little to be concerned by Texans over this. In Texas the powerful NRA will surely have the clout to push through an exemption for high powered lights, as long as they are attached to a weapon!
