    Lightbulb Harpoon guns as an alternative armament for law enforcement.

    Harpoon guns as an alternative armament for law enforcement.

    Why not Issue hand held harpoon guns with lines to law enforcement? An officer could then shoot the perpetrator in the limb (hopefully avoiding major vessels) and fasten the line to the cruiser or a tree and move onto the next perp. Vehicle mounted larger harpoon guns for those lengthy chases. What do you think?




    P.S.: Topic inspired by many gun control and fat shaming topics of this evening.

    Yeah and for smaller threats we should give them quarters to flick at people's foreheads.

    it's a pretty good idea... not for the civilized world, but for USA right now
    You can't do a mass shooting with an harpoon gun, right?

    O Flora, of the moon, of the dream. O Little ones, O fleeting will of the ancients. Let the hunter be safe. Let them find comfort. And let this dream, their captor, Foretell a pleasant awakening

    Think being shot at with a bullet is far more humane than getting harpooned...

    This would work perfectly for feminist protesters.

    This is one of the dumbest ideas I ever heard.

    Then again, OP is likely just trolling.

    At least the cops will be able to file all the unlawful killings as scientific research.

    “Shoulda happooned em in the knee. He wuz a gud boy. He didn’t du nuffin”

    Different tactics. Same bullshit.
    People working 2 jobs in the US (at least one part-time) - 7.8 Million (Roughly 4.9% of the workforce)

    People working 2 full-time jobs in the US - 360,000 (0.2% of the workforce)

    Average time worked weekly by the US Workforce - 34.5 hours
