Report: NRA audience called for female protester to be Tased
Despite the uproar that ensued after a questioner was shocked following a forum Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) held in Florida, not everyone is unhappy with the Taser.

At the National Rifle Association's "Celebration of American values" conference Friday, as Sen. John Thune (R-SD) delivered his opening remarks, a protester stood up and began yelling, according to a 183-word brief by Ben Pershing in Monday's Roll Call.

The audience responded.

"As she bellowed, a source who was present told , 'All these old dudes started shouting, ‘Tase her! Tase her!’'

"Alas, security personnel just quietly walked the offender out the door, sans the 50,000 volts of electricity and — as NRA members might appreciate — 'more stopping power than a .357 Magnum' that Taser claims to provide," Pershing wrote. "Maybe next time."

3. You just wait...
...when we have a Dem President and a majority in Congress---and it's the Republicans
who are protesting and outraged. They will be the ones getting tased. They'll cry
all over the place, claiming that the Democrats are violating their First Amendment
Rights and they'll position us anti-patriot and anti-American.

For now, when it's "libs" protesting, their just fine with these Fascist, perverse
torture tactics.

2. Wow, the NRA gun nutters are getting soft...
The gun nutters only wanted someone to be tased--who was expressing an opinion?

I'm surprised they didn't pump about 1,000 rounds into her and lob grenades at
her head.

Why, this is a moral breakthrough for these gun freaks.

We should all commend these NRA members for their civility and compassion.

4. I think the NRA members should get Tasered.
They should experience it first before "recommending" it!

5. I'm saying it again - men will use tasers to torture women


are there any studies of the different way male and female bodies react to being tased?

don't women's bodies contain more fluid?
