I have no use for a stun gun or taser, but nice to see they also removed the ban on silencers and switchblades.
Let's complain about the NOFD and the statues.

Good deal!
I dont have them either but I think it is a step in the right direction for strengthening the 2nd admendment!

I don't get it, N.O. is removing Confederate statues in order to promote racial equality or something along those lines?
So why do you need a stun gun in N.O. if you now have racial harmony?

Watching the news, they said local fire fighters did it???
Yeah, I was kind of wondering about that myself.

Maybe the news is "all wet"?
Just saying.
I respect firefighters and dont think the firefighters would stoop that low to remove the statues!

Let's get back to this city ordinance for a moment.
How can they pass an ordinance restricting my rights when State law forbids it?

You bring up a very good point. I am curious about this as well.
The council approved a*revised ordinance*unanimously March 9 that removed the words "stungun" and "zip gun" from a list of prohibited items outlined in municipal code. That list includes blackjacks, metal knuckles, switchblades, spring knives, spring guns, iron buckles, sandclubs and silencers -- all of which are still prohibited
Seems that you read that wrong... it says all those other items are still prohibited.

I didn't read it wrong. Idiot writer got it wrong and we thought back and edited it.

I'd be willing to bet that the unanimous Supreme Court ruling in Caetano v. Massachusetts was a factor in the decision to remove the ban. That ruling centered around a woman who wanted to protect herself from an abusive boyfriend after protective orders didn't work. She didn't feel as though she could shoot him so she accepted a stun gun from a friend as an alternative.
That ruling basically reiterated that "the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding." They went further to state that stun guns could not be banned because they were "dangerous per se at common law and unusual" or because the state felt that the second amendment protected "only those weapons useful in warfare."
I think the best part of that entire ruling was Justice Alito's statement that "if the fundamental right of self-defense does not protect Caetano, then the safety of all Americans is left to the mercy of state authorities who may be more concerned about disarming people than about keeping them safe."

Exactly. They did not want to pay out for a lawsuit. It's happening across the country. Stun gun bans are being repealed to render lawsuits moot.
Also Caetano was a homeless woman. Unlike what is argued about Heller/Macdonald decision applying only to the home, Caetano recognizes the 2a right without regards to the home.
