If you suck at aiming your gun it doesn't make you any safer.

These are stupid arguments. Unless you kinda just get grazed in the leg (which probably wouldn't accomplish anything with a taser either) then you're probably out of the fight. We're not talking about Navy SEALs, who probably would be out of the fight with a gutshot anyway, we're talking about people who are functionally civilians, and would get taken down with a bullet pretty much any place in their body. We are also not talking about demons who will go through any amount of pain just to kill you, we're talking about people who just want your TV or whatever, and aren't looking for a fight to the death.
And even just talking about what is more effective doesn't make tasers equally effective. Have you seen Cops? Plenty of times I've seen someone who was big as **** and/or on PCP who didn't go down from a taser. They might not be in the best shape to continue ****ing with you, but you are still not safe. And if one shot from a taser doesn't bring someone down, then you can't just fire the taser against cause it only has one shot, unlike a gun.
