No way. Tasers aren't guns.

If there have been police-related stun-gun deaths, it does seem strange to avoid addressing this particular problem. Questions one could ask: were the deaths related to misuse (i.e., lack of training)? were the deaths due to poor engineering or malfunction? Or was it intentional misuse on the part of the police? These are dangerous weapons but let's address the problem that's actually occuring.

The problem that is occurring is
people are making excuses for the criminals that fight the police and get tased.
