  How many more people have to be injured. We need to raise awareness.

Just to clarify so that it's fully understood:
The use of firearms *is* a form of Argumentum Ad Baculum and therefore is an improper form of argument.
Please limit your arguments to supportable facts and accepted forms.
Thank you.

They said the injuries were not life threatening. If they were then it wouldn't be a non-lethal pistol now would it. I generally don't discuss philosophy when buying beer. Now I know why.

  I don't either. I save the philosophy discussion for the drinking of beer.

I want to see this "nonlethal" pistol? And, Russians can have guns? And I wish someone would discuss Kant in line with me some day... that NEVER happens. :(

Kant did argue against reason.

What is a nonlethal pistol?

  "What is a nonlethal pistol? "
  
  It is what I will own, when ammo finally shows up on the shelf for $10 per round.

      When i was in Norway for two months in 1988 I had an opportunity to taste some unlabeled black market vodka direct from the USSR. The woman whose apartment I shared kept it in her freezer (and old time ice box actually). Based on that taste I doubt they would waste vodka in that way. :)

I guess this is the limit of pure reason

  Next time you go out be sure and have a non-lethal weapon for protection.
