Taser & Background Checks
Insty is talking Tasers and self defense. And Tasers are for sale on Amazon. I noticed the seller says:
Before activation customer must pass a felony background check with a separate cost of $9.99.
Found it odd.
Update: From the NYT article:
As for people using Tasers while committing crimes, executives have designed an elaborate system to activate the gun, including a required background check over the phone.
Over the phone? Doesn’t seem very effective.

I wonder if Tasers are legal in England? Those poor people are left to running or throwing rocks. Every other form of self-defense is illegal.
