Taser is a great tool, but the success rate isn’t as high as you’d make people think it is. There’s a million and one reasons the taser is not good enough to make anything obsolete, especially a bullet. Nor any other less than lethal option.

First off, arguing to use tasers in lieu of guns, is extremely disingenuous. Tasers can fail for reasons ranging from both prongs not making contact with skin, layers of clothing blocking the prongs all together and a larger amount of the population that’s not effected by a taser or outright not hitting the target. Not to mention certain drugs will all but render a taser useless. Also, the price of a taser is well over $1,000. I can buy two guns and ammunition for that price. And all for a tool that fails on a regular basis?

Watch any number of police body cams and you’ll see just how ineffective a taser really is.

That’s just a simple argument against tasers in less than lethal situations. And we both know that not every confrontation can be ended with a simple less than lethal option. It’s entirely probable and common for attackers to be completely unphased after multiple gunshots to fatal areas. And you think a little taser is even better? I think not.

While tasers are a decent option for self defense, tasers are just not effective as they need to be. You’ll never replace the gun. Because sometimes a real gun is the only way you save your life or the life of a loved one. I open/concealed carry every single day. And while I wouldn’t mind carrying less than lethal options like tasers, when it really comes down to it, it’s just not good enough at its job to trust my life to it. And I damn sure wouldn’t trust my kids life to it.

Of course this isn’t even acknowledging the fact that once you shoot your taser, it’s done with. If you miss, you’re just fucked because there is no second shot. Then there’s the fact that for reasons previously stated on their overall ineffectiveness, what would happen if a woman shoots her taser, trusting your product,’only for it to fail and be used against her by doing a dry shock? Assuming she even bought the $1,500 taser to begin with.

I’ve watched taser after taser after taser fail, I’ve watched people be completely unphased by it. I’ve also watched cops trust tasers to do their jobs only to be the wrong option. There’s a bodycam video of two sheriffs deputies in Oklahoma serving a warrant, they come into a small bedroom where a guy is hiding. One officer had a taser and the other a gun, so they could respond correctly depending on the situation. Well, this guy pops up and before the cop could even get off shots from his gun he was stabbed in the stomach multiple times. Both officers shot this guy, one with a real gun and one with a taser and he was STILL able to make deadly contact.

And story after story can be seen like that. So no, the taser will never replace the gun. Not in a million years.

So here’s my question. What tool can you create or produce that is more effective and more trustworthy than the taser? And why do you think anything taser can provide will be used to replace the gun, considering the staggering amount of reasons why nobody would trust it over a gun?

Beta, why do you dodge all the hard questions and ignore everybody who isn’t hopped on your dick?

You’re a fucking tyrant and you’ll NEVER be president. And you’ll never take our guns. You can have my guns when they’re red hot and out of ammo. Fuck you.

Edit: I’ll bet real fucking money you won’t even make top 3 for the nomination.

Yea, that’s not even considering distance from the target. These things only have like a 20 foot range.

Yea, there’s a lot of points I would raise against taser, but I’m at work and I really don’t have 45 minutes to go through it all.

A lot of PD’s don’t even allow officers to carry them because they fail so often that they are just a liability. And if you do carry them, people are more likely to freak if the officer shoots them and they say “why didn’t he taser him or shoot him in the leg first?” And that’s the kind of people who don’t understand why this doesn’t make any sense
