Stylish stun-gun
Treating a deadly weapon as if it were a toy, Taser is to start selling “sleeker, consumer-friendly” versions of its stun-guns. This is, quite frankly, disgusting. To bring out a “stylish” Taser as if it’s just the latest accessory is a terrible reflection on society. Furthermore, surely it increases the risk of children finding it and being killed because they don’t realise that this aesthetically-designed brightly-coloured thing is deadly?

Maybe they could make a Pokemon edition too, for ’safety at school.’
It’s a sad state of affairs when your gun has to look cool.

It’s a sad state of affairs to feel you have to have a gun at all…

Actually, if you enjoyed that check out this story:

It’s from the Mirror, so it’s probably a complete load but still kinda scary.

Lol, it really wouldn’t surprise me if that was true. Though, it does slightly smack of a funding deficit when the Army is relying on computer games to train their pilots…
