    — Second Amendment, United States Constitution.


    COLUMBIA — If Columbia voters decide on Nov. 2 to outlaw Taser use in the city by approving Proposition 2, private residents as well as law enforcement would be prohibited from using them.

    Tasers and stun guns are available for private use, and they can be purchased at sporting goods and electronics stores for $50 to $360, depending on the model.

    Ah gee, I live 25 miles south of Columbia, in Jefferson City. I can tell you, if it's a dumb idea, Columbians will probably be for it. Like the moron Gregory, who said he signed the petition to get this measure on the ballot, but now thinks he'll vote against it. Gee, Gregory, perhaps you should have thought this through before signing the petition the Birkenstock wearing mofo offered you. Columbia may be the most liberal community in Missouri, and they have the crime rate to prove it. Idiots all.
    Returns June 3rd.

    A question of safety

    Columbia voters to decide fate of Taser use.

    Is a Taser a tool or a weapon?

    Baillargeon holds two probes used from a practice cartridge.
    Are Columbia residents safer when police deploy a Taser than when an officer has to get into an all-out brawl with someone resisting arrest?

    Those are questions voters might consider Nov. 2 when they decide whether the use of conducted electrical devices, or CEDs, should be banned in the city. The issue comes to voters after a grass-roots organization and the city couldn’t reach common ground when it comes to the safety of Taser use.
