There has been a lot of controversy regarding the use of Taser guns by law enforcements in Canada for the past several months. Recently, Taser International unveiled its new Taser X3 stun gun in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Unlike the older model, the new Taser gun can shock 3 people without reloading. This new gun uses cutting-edge technology to enhance its effectiveness and safety. However, this has created yet another wave of controversial opinions relating to the proper usage of Taser guns in Canada. A recent government inquiry found that Taser guns were responsible for 25 deaths including the that of Robert Dziekanski – a Polish immigrant who died after being stunned 5 times by RCMP Officers at Vancouver International Airport.

We would like to know what you think of Police Officers using Taser guns in Canada?
