Got mine. Better than HAVING to use my gun.

I ordered two from securitydiscounters.com, one for me and one for my wife. I love these liberal *********. They would rather I carry my gun and kill the perp than just stun him and hold him for arrest.

GOD FORBID the citizenry should be allowed to defend themselves in a non-lethal manner.

As Rosie ODonnel (liberal to her lezbian core c#nt) pointed out: Nobody should be allowed to own weapons (i.e. guns). EXCEPT her body guards. Her body guards should be able to carry full autos into her children's kindergarden. Cause her wealthy children need protection.

Promptly doing what our founding fathers DIDN'T want to happen: only the filthy rich is allowed guns to SUPPRESS the populance.

well pal....

I generally agree with your view on guns. Rosie is an idiot on the subject, for certain. Although I'm not rushing out to buy a stun-gun. IMO, less than lethal weapons are more likely to be used, as people don't worry about "killing." The last thing we need to do is encourage people to shoot each other with "safer" weapons. In the event that I fear for my life enough to actually shoot somebody... We're talking last-line self defence here... Live or die moment. I'd rather have the real gun. I think stun guns are great for cops and bodyguards, though... along with their usual sidearms. When an armed perp is running away, there is no need for real bullets.

The PROBLEM IS---

In theory, ...these weapons can be used as a "NON-LETHAL" form of force, ...INSTEAD OF resorting to a "deadlier-force" such as a "...gun".

But, the REALITY is that quite a few experts and analysts, based upon the application of this 'device' in actual use, have now begun to conclude that...

1. They (TASERS) are, in fact, proving to be far more DANGEROUS than they are claimed to be (by those 'selling' and 'using' them).

And, Also very importantly...

2. Some 'Police Agencies' seem to be using them FAR MORE READILY, than they should (police-officers are willing to use them much more readily than they would resort to the use of 'other' forms of 'force', such as 'physical-restraint', 'batons', etc.).

In fact, in some cases 'Tasers' have seemingly been used as little more than 'Terror-weapons' designed to inflict 'SEVERE PAIN', ...to force compliance with officer-wishes, ...NOT truly to protect citizens, or even, neccesarily, to uphold actual laws.

It is this, now apparent, 'potetial-danger' and such 'potential-abuses' which has so many people concerned, and which, SHOULD BE addressed.

Just where do you get your stats?

Down the opium pipe or the tv tube? Where was it published (except in UFO Daily) that cops in the US have used these as forced torture devices?

Where are the stats on police more ready to use these tasers when they've actually stopped using it for the past few years pending further studies?

HINT: When you have to lie to support your point, Maybe, just maybe, you DON'T HAVE A POINT.

Let me guess

You either don't like authority or have been arrested at some point in your life. Terror weapons, I don't think so. As far as using the baton instead of the taser, you are far more likely to be seriously injured by the baton then the taser. Why don't you go stick your liberal head up your liberal A**
