 It would more than likely keep it out of the hands of morons and 
 punks! 

 As far as "illicit" firearms go, why bother? Most anyone can purchase
 a legal firearm if one really wants one. At least most people
 understand that if they point a gun at someone and pull  the 
 trigger that the consequences will be rather severe! That is
 NOT the case with pepper spray! It is sold over the counter to
 damned near anyone without the benefit of any training in it's
 use or restrait whatsoever.

 Pepper spray should have never been made available to the 
 general public in the first place. It's bad enough that the
 police do not seem able to properly "admisister" this toxic
 agent and thay supposedly have received some training in
 it's use.
