Perhaps, but that would leave even fewer people with access to them. It
is a *lot* easier to join an astronomical society than to obtain a
firearms license! A hackerspace membership should count as well. There
may not be a lot of overlap between the groups of those wanting to use
laser pointers and firearms.
