Am I assuming correctly that N.J. is the first state to consider a ban like this?

NJ Senate OKs bill banning some laser pointers
The Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. --
The state Senate has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would bar the sale of certain powerful laser pointers, sending the measure to Gov. Chris Christie's desk.
But it's not yet known when or if the governor will act on the bill.
The measure passed Monday by a 36-1 vote would ban the sale of laser pointers that exceed one milliwatt in output power.

+++++ Interesting that the law does not apply to lasers mounted on guns. So I guess if a NJ star gazer want to use 5mW green lasers at star parties all they need to do is mount it on a gun.
Weird,
