But what about electrical arms like stun guns, invented in 1972? Are they covered under this line of Supreme Court reasoning? Currently, that isn't clear.
The Supreme Court is being asked to decide—in a case challenging a Massachusetts ban on the private possession of a stun gun, or a "portable device or weapon from which an electrical current, impulse, wave or beam is designed to incapacitate temporarily, injure or kill...." The challenge before the justices comes in a burgeoning era in which a hodgepodge of weapons are being constructed at home DIY-style and via 3D-printing technology. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
