Regulate law enforcement and civilian stun gun use in same manner as firearms and other lethal weapons are regulated.

Created by M.B. on August 24, 2013

Although it might be true that neither bullets or gunpowder are used in the deployment of Tasers or other stun guns, and even when the intention of the shooter is not to seriously maim or kill, nonetheless, these weapons are still deployed much like firearms and other lethal weapons in use by police and civilians, firing projectiles and also, no matter what the purported causes given whenever serious bodily injury or deaths occur after their use, these weapons employ enough energy with which to be lethal; either that or serious bodily injury or death can result afterwards, whether from the impact of a fall or other circumstances involved. Therefore, Tasers and other stun guns should be governed and regulated in the exact same manner as firearms and other lethal weapons are regulated.
