2nd Amendment Protection of the Right to Bear Tasers

via David Koppel writing on The Volokh Conspiracy.

So rules a state judge in Bay City, Michigan. According to the ruling, the regulation of stun guns would be constitutional, but not their prohibition. Other than Michigan, the only states that prohibit stun guns are New Jersey and Rhode Island.

Eugene Volokh’s Stanford Law Review article, Nonlethal Self-Defense examines the Second Amendment issues involving stun guns, chemical sprays, and the like, concluding that they are protected by the Second Amendment.

Perhaps a better idea of what Prof. Volokh is talking about is seen in the full title of his article for the law review.

Nonlethal Self-Defense, (Almost Entirely) Nonlethal Weapons, and the Rights to Keep and Bear Arms, Defend Life, and Practice Religion

What do you think that "defend life, and practice religion" part means. I guess somebody's gonna have to read the thing and tell me about it. Any volunteers?
