"Don't Tase me, ho!"
Taser-packin' mamas! Buy your cutie one for Christmas, and hope to high heaven she didn't have her heart set on diamonds instead.
They look a little like the kind of deodorant thingies you can buy in any store.
But they’re not!
If you stuck one of these babies into your armpit you’d get a REALLY nasty shock!
From newsweek.com: "Every Saturday afternoon in Scottsdale, Ariz., women gather at Dana Shafman's house to watch demonstrations of her sleek new wares, which come in such enticing colors as "metallic pink" and "electric blue." It's like a Tupperware party … only not.
Shafman is peddling Tasers. Hers look a lot different from those bulky blasters carried by cops: they resemble something you'd shave your legs with, and at five and a half inches in length, they're small enough to slip into a purse. But don't be fooled. These babies deliver the same 50,000 volts of muscle-paralyzing electroshock therapy.
Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for that special someone who wants to pack heat but doesn't want to mess with bullets? At $299 to $349, the C2 Personal Protection System may be the ticket.
...Although there are other electroshock weapons, most are "stun guns" that require physical contact with a target. That differs from a Taser, which fires an electrified cable that attaches to the target, delivering the shock; the C2 can shoot 15 feet,... [..]"
Except Tupperware never delivered 50,000 volts or was connected to any deaths.
Lor, what will happen? Cops already abuse Tasers, think about one in every woman's purse...one that can shoot 50,000 volts 15 feet. Men, if you even look at a woman "funny"...
Yes, we have a right to defend ourselves, but will we become Taser happy? With so much violence toward women, (one in four college girls report sexual assault) I have mixed feelings.
On the one hand, it's another option women can have to protect themselves...on the other, anyone who thinks a Taser can't be deadly should bone up on their current events.
Let's see...it's late at night and I'm asleep in my bedroom alone...I hear someone kicking down my front door. I have precious seconds to react. The intruder is running down the hallway ...would I rather have a gun or a Taser?
What if it's only my neighbor trying to save me from my burning house? Don't laugh, I read about such a shooting.
Is a Taser better then a gun? A gun can certainly stop someone trying to hurt a person from a longer distance, but a Taser is less deadly (most of the time).
Would I rather have a Taser or pepper spray?
Neither would be a match if the bad guy had a gun…
What if there's more than one attacker? Do I have to have to reload after every shot?
Taser, gun or hairspray and a lighter-- all that matters is whether you can stop the bad guy. Everyone has the right to defend themselves against unwanted aggression. Man or woman.
Will we become a Taser-packin' society instead of a gun-totin' society? Are Tasers the wave of the future and guns will end up in museums?
I guess in the end, I'd rather use a relatively harmless Taser than a bullet.
But you guys better watch out for jilted women and angry ex-wives...they might be packing.
Hmmm...maybe I'll invent Taser underwear...or a Taser bra...for when jerks grab a woman...
