– Why civilians cannot use rubber bullets?
In: 4
Rubber bullets are called non lethal but still do cause deaths and permanent injuries ([source](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/03/global-dozens-killed-and-thousands-maimed-by-police-misuse-of-rubber-bullets/)). And that’s mostly in the hands of trained police and soldiers, who know what not to do (albeit sometimes in a nudge nudge wink wink it’d be just beastly if you accidentally shot someone in the eye).
If you had a weapon that you thought was guaranteed non lethal, you’d be inclined to use it more – we’ve seen that with the deployment of tasers. As they’re not non-lethal, people end up dead when the confrontation could’ve been solved nonviolently.
