Ban on stun master guns Stopped

Members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee stripped the proposed ban on civilian sales from Leno’s AB 1237 after examining the two stun gun bills. Leno said yesterday he was disappointed, insisting that taser gun stun guns are dangerous weapons in the hands of criminals. California legislators will revisit the issue when they truly understand that, he predicted.

Leno noted that taser stun gun’s Web site says that 92 percent of people hit with the stun gun have no memory of the incident, making taser c2s a powerful tool in the hands of criminals and gang members.”This is a dangerous weapon to have on the streets of California, and there will be a day in the state’s future where they will be banned,” Leno said.

His original AB 1237 not only proposed to outlaw civilian sales but also called for the state to conduct and pay for independent safety studies into cheap stun guns use. It also required law enforcement agencies to file detailed reports on all stun master firings to the state. Amendments to AB 1237 still provide for a study on the health effects of using a taser gun on humans, but the bill now states the study will “be completed with private funding only.”
