Another difference between the gun and the taser is that the police officer's gun is obviously a weapon of last resort (used for self-defence, not very often as an offensive weapon).
It seems like the taser has been sold as the go-to, do-all device that can be freely used to try to defuse a situation. In other words, something that can be used offensively, in attack-mode.
In other words, the gun is a defensive weapon, and the taser is an offensive weapon.
And you can read the word offensive with either meaning.
