Republican State Representative Rick Jones wants to make it legal for Michiganders to carry tasers. To show that it’s really no big deal, he asked to be zapped himself.
I think this is absolutely brilliant. Seriously. It’s probably the best thing any Rethug has done in months. I mean, what better way to get your bill passed? If you open people’s minds to tasering Republican legislators, then of course, everybody’s going to want to do it.
I’m not a big fan of tasers in general, but on the other hand, I think it’s unlikely that the general public will use them any more irresponsibly than the cops, so what the hell?
