New York's new stun gun ban
Posted by Dominic Basulto
In a deal reached with New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, eBay has agreed to block the sale and shipment of stun guns to New York residents. As part of a sting operation that involved 16 eBay sellers, Spitzer's office found the eBay users were easily able to buy stun guns through the online auction site. Over a two-year period, eBay power sellers were able to sell 1,100 stun guns to New Yorkers - including the state-of-the-art $400 "Air Taser" that delivers a 50,000-volt disabling shock. New York is now one of only seven states that bans the sale of electric stun devices.
