No Gun,
You stated in no certain terms you've been assaulted and feel having a gun at the time probably wouldn't have helped. I believe you also stated you were trained in using a Taser. Have you had thorough, high quality firearms training? I have a hunch that you advocate Tasers mainly due to the training you've had. I also have a strong hunch if you were well trained to use a firearm (and more importantly when NOT to use one), you would have a different viewpoint of our 2nd Amendment.
Welcome to TFL. After reading the extensive comments here and elsewhere, I hope you one day stand with us. The gun community by and large cement our beliefs based on facts, not hyperbole, and what the Founding Fathers intended. Although their intentions and the Constitution/Bill of Rights seem to be "dated", they knew exactly what our future held. The two glaring issues they were wrong on have since been corrected. Womens' suffrage and slave ownership isn't for this venue, unfortunately. Otherwise, I'd tell you why those two issues were destined to be overcome justly. I hope you come to understand it's different on all the other items in play.
Here's a site located in our TFL Library. You'll find a host of information that should keep your brain in high gear:
