A while back, the Supreme Court ruled that things like tasers couldn’t be banned by states. Massachusetts tried and they got smacked down over it by the Court. As they should have.
You see, while we think of “arms” as mentioned in the Second Amendment as being synonymous with guns, it really is more all-encompassing than that. Tasers are a kind of weapon, after all, and they’re covered as well. I mean, when the amendment was written, privateers were a thing, which means privately-owned artillery.
Figuring tasers should be covered seemed like low-hanging fruit.
