What technology is being developed to reduce the need for lethal weapons?

Would you like to live in a place where dangerous weapons are only used for defense by the military and for recreation by civilians. Obviously some guns will be necessary to keep things even but I feel that little progress is being made in non-lethal defense technology. I don’t care if someone is considered a bad person; they still deserve a chance to live. There are not enough people that value life, so they ignore death and destruction and try to justify reckless attacks.
If you hadn’t asked this question I would have missed out on this amazing site.
(The weapons are real, the silly "aka" nick-names were made up by the web-site)
It shows 6 new non-lethal weapons the military has had developed, and comments on them in a very humorous fashion:
The PHASR (aka Crowd-Blinding Rifle)
The Active Denial System (aka Massive Pain Ray)
The Laser Induced Plasma Channel (aka Invisible Pain Fence)
Taser XREP (aka Electrified Shotgun Shells)
The Pulsed Energy Projectile (aka Magic Missile)
The Vortex Ring Gun (aka The Fart Gun)
