State Rep. Proposes Study On Less-Than-Lethal Devices

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Some Oklahoma lawmakers want the state to regulate the use of stun guns.

Currently there are no state regulations for the use of these devices and training to use them is not provided to law enforcement officers.

State Rep. Mike Shelton said a study on the issue would help evaluate if regulations should be put in place.

Are regulations a good substitute for common sense?

If the police can't be trusted with stun guns, it's not much of a jump to outlawing them for regular citizens or making us go through boring, expensive, near useless training.

Just the fact that they are considering if regulations should be put in place pretty much says there will be some regulations. Politicans want to "regulate" everything.

Apparantly we need laws to regulate ferocious sparking.
I'm only in favor if they are able to attach an rider outlawing the fort knox-like cellophane on DVD wrappers.
