Or a gun loaded with rubber bullets… or a shotgun loaded with beanbag rounds…

Or a painball gun loaded with pellets of mace…

There are only about half a dozen different ways to create weapons which can incapacitate at range while being much much harder to kill with than your average everyday gun…

Less lethal options are illegal, often at felony level for us as ordinary folks. The pepper spray I can buy is one tenth the strength of what cops carry. Tasers are for cops only. Rubber bullets are for cops only. I like the idea of letting people have access to less lethal devices. But for fear of abuse, those too are forbidden.
