Taser Founder And CEO Says Police Won’t Need Guns In Ten Years

Rick Smith, the co-creator of the Taser and now CEO of the $10 billion market cap nonlethal weapon’s manufacturer, Axon, believes his company will make an electric stun gun that will make the police pistol redundant within a decade. ABC News reports more than 18,000 police and military agencies nationally use Tasers, and a report from the National Institute of Justice says they reduce injuries for officers and suspects.
