    So we all know it has been “law” that FP lasers have been limited to mil and LEO sales by the FDA. Chevron deference is what allowed the FDA to come up with BS “laws” like that. USSC tossed chevron deference to the curb thanks to a bunch of fisherman. This renders the FDAs “law” regulating sales of FP lasers completely irrelevant. Congress never passed that law, therefore it is now unenforceable.

    When are NV vendors finally going to be willing to sell FP units to the citizenry? Or are we all gonna continue to play nice under the boot of unelected bureaucrats just because we like the taste?

    Uhh no. That’s not quite what it did. And it’s still enforceable until you win a court case.

    The only change is that now if they catch you and you take it to court you can pay $$$$ to argue what the law says where previously if the law was ambiguous, the court would defer to the gov agency’s interpretation of what the law meant.

    Getting the current rules overturned will take lawyers, lots of money, and time, with no guarantee of success. Is the market even worth the cost to open it up?
    You are correct. But Freedom aint Free.

    Our founding fathers lost their business's, some their lives, family members lives, etc etc to get out from under the heel of oppression. Most modern Americans (not all, not all) have gotten soft and bow to the heel of oppression much too easily. Thus we find ourselves at this juncture in the American journey.
