(WSBT) The City of South has made a move to get stun guns off the streets.

Monday night, the Common Council passed an ordinance that bans selling or owning the weapons with-in city limits. Police also support the measure. They say in un-trained hands, a stun-gun can be a powerful force Officer's can't fight.

"Now they're becoming more refined, a lot smaller, a lot lighter, and a lot more powerful," says South Bend Police Sergeant Scott Ruszkowski. "You know them being out there and being allowed to be out there, from a police officers perspective, there's no way to defeat it."

Under the new ordinance, you can be fined for carrying a stun-gun from $250 to $1,000.

This is a city that just loves crime and of course using the old leftist argument that you the citizen are just to incompetent to defend yourselfs. I hate these leftist scum bags.

Same way in PRNJ. No offensive or defensive weapons allowed. This includes pepper spray.

ASP specializes in high-intensity flashlights and pepper spray guns that come in designer colors and customized, laser-etched logos. "Is this legal in New Jersey?" one attendee asked about a purple pepper spray gun that fits on a keychain.

"Nothing is legal in New Jersey," the company representative said.

Citizens must be disarmed! Only the gov't and law enforcement has any right to be armed. Citizens can't be trusted.
