Should Tasers be banned or not?

No, cause we girls would like to have one to zap the creeper’s balls who is trying to buy us a drink and take us home later for some UH-HUH ;)

Yes, if some smart-ass drops the taser into a swimming pool and kill those lil kids trying to learn not to drown in t here.

I don’t know.

Maybe NO cause it may keep the streets safer and maybe YES cause someone can die from a Taser zap.

It’s hard to decide cause I never thought of it before.

Well, I am a law-abiding citizen and until the cop is offering me to the nearest lock-up, I never gave a thought on being a threat to the people around me.   

Sure it is dangerous since someone had actually died from being tasered by cops.

In fact, Amnesty International USA wrote an article about deaths caused by Taser guns in the US.

According to the report, deaths that occurred between June 2001 and August 2008, showed that the number of people who died in the United States after being struck by police Tasers has reached 334. 

Amnesty International’s report — which includes a study of 98 autopsies that were independently reviewed by a forensic pathologist — found that 90 percent of those who died after being struck with Tasers were unarmed and many did not appear to present a serious threat.

I supposed that Tasers can be very very dangerous if not used properly.

Ah-HAH.

Now here’s the question.

How can we decide when is it appropriate to use the Tasers?

Banning it obviously wouldn’t require us to think at all. But if we choose to allow it, there must be policies in place to control its’ usage.

Since there’s a high probability of death when one is Tasered, it should be categorized with the GUNS since it is almost equally as dangerous.

If strict guidance on how the taser should be used is in place and how long you can zap that person, perhaps deaths can be avoided.

But then again,

How should I know?

I don’t know how does it feel like to be tasered. Perhaps if someone zap me now, I can probably give a better answer :P


Nonetheless, I agree that Tasers should NOT be banned.

Hey, I wanna buy one so I can keep myself safe walking home anyways so … where can I get one? ;)
