the taser is not a deadly weapon.

Says you?

[SteveH]

the taser is a weapon which is designed to incapacitate, but not to kill.

if you think otherwise, you are welcome to argue with a taser engineer, dictionary, or yourself in the mirror.

So, if a tazer is a deadly weapon, why use it at all, instead of a handgun or a shotgun?

If a tazer is a deadly weapon, then police are using deadly force in instances when they should not, or when they claim they are not.

You can't have it both ways.
