You can help resolve all perspectives regarding all 3 problems in one shot (Too soon?). Utilize the conflict between american gun culture and gun control to social advantage by creating lethal ammo specific gun laws, which means something like Xrep taser bullets remains legal:
Right now these are expensive as hell (160USD a round), the trend isn't growing and there's very little competition because the market is tiny - the number of people who would own a gun but would rather not use real bullets turns out to be pretty small. But if gun control laws allow for this and other non lethal solutions like this even in no gun zones, it would create demand, justify further automation of mass production to meet a higher demand and encourage competition to reduce the cost, and perhaps even finance further improvement and development.
You want a gun to defend yourself and your family when the government isn't around to do it for you? With this, you still can. You want gun control to reduce the numbers of deaths and accidents? This will do it.
You want to generate affordable non lethal weaponry alternatives for law enforcement agencies to use and reduce the problem of police brutality and questionable cases of deaths without due process? This will take some time to do it, but a lot less time then raising a whole new generation of police officers, and in turn you might restore some of the trust between the american black communities and the local authorities which means they might actually get called when there's a problem or risks of violence within black neighborhoods.
...Alternatively, you can blame all 3 on me. Worked for my marriage.
