Taser Tag
My title probably invokes a crude image; but really, if Taser guns are available for public purchase, who knows but it would be thought of. I was wondering if one would have to have a license to purchase a Taser gun. I could see them being useful to farmers, but I think it might be a good idea to allow other purchases only to those with concealed weapons licenses.
I think that Annie did a thorough job with her presentation. Her ethos was established not only through her relation to official users of the weapon, but also through her research of objections to Tasers. She addressed each argument opposing Taser Guns with valid, research-supported responses. Some might object to testing on animals, but what small percentage of any product or procedure do we not test on animals? Some might say that Tasers are too easily abused; any individual given any amount of power struggles not to abuse it, and it was shown what tracking devices are implemented to regulate officers. Some claim that Tasers are just as deadly as guns, but evidence proves that to be false and suggests that the benefits far outweigh the costs.
I did not know much about Taser Guns before this presentation, but I was convinced that they are a good technological development that deserves implementation and has the potential to better our justice system.
