I can't believe in 2023 we are still in the position of having the only convenient capable way of incapacitating someone from a distance being to destroy their body.
I'm not trying to sound super anti-gun, it just seems like it's not the right tool for the job most of the time, and it sucks that that is the choice we have to make.
Its 2024 now.
GODDAMMIT
It is.
I was really hoping we'd have the phasers from star trek by now, and we could just use the 'stun' setting for defense. Though, I'm sure conservative gun nuts would make a little club dedicated to only using the 'kill' setting on their phasers, because it's their God given right to murder someone over inanimate objects.
You can get a CO2 stun gun that is very unlikely to kill anyone. Not fun getting hit with one either. It is an imperfect solution.
