re: #200 Rightwingconspirator

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.

Let’s think about this for a second. Why would they fear that such options might be abused? Could it be because we as a society are trigger happy, and if given an alternative that was less lethal, might be more inclined to use such force even more haphazardly than we do with lethal force?

America, what a country! *rolls eyes*
