Next time you go camping in a US National park, make sure you don’t take a leak outside the outhouses or speak any dissent against the US Government. The agents who control the Forest’s may grab you, hold you down and administer 50,000 volts of electricity to your ass while you yell out “No don’t Taze me bro”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) — TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR), a market leader in advanced electronic control devices, today announced that it received an order from the United States Forest Service for 700 TASER(r) X26 electronic control devices and related accessories.“We are excited about this new additional federal agency purchasing TASER technology to protect life,” said Tom Smith, Chairman and Founder of TASER international. “Traditionally, we have focused law enforcement sales at the local and state level, but we are now seeing acceptance of TASER technology at various federal law enforcement agencies.”
“We have seen a continual marked increase in TASER technology purchases at the federal level following our initial U.S. military approval of a five-year indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. We are proud that law enforcement within the Departments of Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Interior, and Agriculture are now relying on TASER devices to protect life.”
HL’s Take
As you may know Tazers have already killed something like 500 people, they are not non-lethal weapons.
