Should Tasers be banned or not?

Have you ever held a taser in your hand?  Have you ever felt the power surge through your body while holding a taser?  Have you seen electricity blaze into the body of another person?  If you said yes to any of these questions, I would like to meet you cause that’s soooo cool!  And if you said no, well, that’s too bad.

Tasers need to be moderated, that is true.  But I believe the taser is just the next in line weapon under the evolution of the hand-held weapon.  Will it replace modern day guns, no, but it does give us an alternative in law enforcement.  If I had the option to shoot a man (and because I have terrible aim, I would accidently kill him) or taser a man (no matter how terrible my aim is, I can still temporarily disable him), I’d probably choose the taser.  I know I wouldn’t feel good about myself killing a man, no matter then crime.  But if I can catch him with the use of my handy taser, and cause no long-term damage, then woohoo, all the power to the taser.

Of course, it’s not necessary to gang up on an assailant, and taser him to death.  One wouldn’t do this with a gun, so why would anyone do this with a taser?  Again, moderation is key.  Law enforement needs adequate training and protocols when such a device can and should be used.

Take my Taser yo!!

Tasers are supposed to reduce deaths, not create them.
