Now that Obama has taken the Whitehouse, what becomes of the 2nd amendment of the constitution? How will we defend ourselves? Is the new president really going to limit or take away the right to carry or own handguns? Handgun sales have dramatically increased since Obama started leading in the presidential election polls a few months back.

Obama does claim that he is a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, the right to bear arms. However, his voting record indicates that he is completely against it. In 2003, Barack Obama voted for a senate bill to ban hundreds of sport rifles and shotguns used for hunting and sports. In 2004, Obama shocked many people after he voted to allow the prosecution of a person using a firearm for self defense in their own house. Those are just 2 examples, as I’m not writing just about our new President.

With his history of voting against gun owner’s rights, it is a clear possibility that we will lose right to own handguns. He has said himself that he is looking for supreme court justices, that will interpret the constitution with a modern look on things. So what do we do when someone breaks into our house and threatens our lives? Will you be more of a target for attack if the assailant knows you wont have a handgun? Every social improvement and new law created with good intention, is not without it’s unintended and opposite effect.

The solution for this situation may lie in a simple non-lethal self-defense weapon. Legal to carry in 45 states, the Taser, or Air Taser Stun Gun has the stopping power of a small caliber handgun, with the added benefit of having total physiologic control of the subject being Tasered. The effects are temporary, and generally regarded as safe. Carried by police all over the world, the Taser has proven to be affordable, reliable, dependable, and highly effective.

Tasers do not require a license to use or carry, however a solid background check is required to activate them. Registered anti-felon ID tags are dispersed like confetti, when the Taser is fired, allowing police to quickly identify the owner. In addition, Taser International has a lifetime replacement guarantee if your Taser is lost while defending yourself. There are several models in many different colors and patterns, and raange from about $250 to $1000.
