It ought never be the case that lethal weapons can be used on another for imagined and non-lethal provocations and without consequence. Taserguns are presently immoral to manufacture, use and own.

Noted, tasers are guns.You first post questioned the legitimacy of ever using or carrying or possessing a taser, which is just gun control.

Your chances of getting shot are slim. Your chances of getting electrocuted with a taser are much higher, since the cops are not bound to use this manner of lethal force in the same limited instances that they would use a gun.Given the choice between being shot and tazed, I'll take the latter. Far more chance that I'd get up and walk away. So a taser can be a good weapon.
It should be a felony for a cop to draw a tasergun unless the cop can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was under imminent lethal threat.However, since police officers continue to use them to gain compliance or for torture entertainment, instead of for self defense, I think police officers should be held responsible. And I think it's irresponsible for the manufacturer to continue to do business with unethical customers. They should take a page from Ronnie Barret.
