Yea i saw that

Weapons that can incapacitate crowds of people by sweeping a lightning-like beam of electricity across them are being readied for sale to military and police forces in the US and Europe.


At present, commercial stun guns target one person at a time, and work only at close quarters.

The new breed of non-lethal weapons can be used on many people at once and operate over far greater distances.

Ah? Never heard this, really!

@T_Bone

You know, even if everyone was allowed to carry a gun, gangs would organise themselves to overwhelm their victims everytime, no matter the size of their weapons.


Actually, gangs arn't a problem in area's where everyone is known to carry. Gangs only seem to be a problem in areas with strict gun controll.

Anyways, if you say gangs will just get bigger guns, regardless of the law, then why have the law?
 :-)

It seems like I keep hearing "We need laws against guns" and "criminals won't follow the law and get bigger guns" as part of the same arguement.
