Way back when, there was a debate about which government department would regulate the taser of the day. The debate seemed to be about if tasers were firearms or not.
From what can grasp from the memo-war, if tasers were firearms then they'd be regulated by the ATF. Or if they weren't firearms, then they'd be regulated under the Consumer Product Safety regulations. See this for details [LINK].
I wonder which government department(s) is regulating the ECD (taser) industry these days?
Anyone care to offer up any information?

In the USA, all Government Agencies which have issues with Taser ECDs seem to be avoiding any regulation or control.
The FDA clearly needs to regulate devices which use "medical" principles to be effective, as tasers clearly do.
The ATF has a clear responsibility to control any device which uses GUN POWDER to release the "nitrogen" pressure contained in a Taser Cartridge.
In fact, the FDA needs to test "Taser Training Cartridges" to see if the company slapping those special cartridges together, is "tweaking" the electrical properties to fit their agenda.
So Many QUESTIONS and so little reliable information.
Tasers KILL ~ No Doubt!
Good luck!
I'm not positive that the gun powder theory of nitrogen release mechanism is firmly established. I just haven't seen anything to indicate it firmly. I'm open minded, but unconvinced.
