actually, i see more advanced weapons being the norm in the future... not nessicarily just taser-type weapons... i invision a weapon that shoots those shitty painful rubber balls (or bean bags) that are capable of sticking to a person and disabling them... if not that, then i just invision smarter guns, maybe even bullets capable of steering themselves clear of unintended victims? some how i doubt lethality will be taken out of the entire picture anytime soon tho... i give it atleast another 30-40 years before basicly every person responsible for up keeping the peace is distributed with a primary weapon other then conventional guns that just severely injure or killl people...
