Sure, you can use a lot of things as a weapon. You can use your car as a weapon.

So why should it be any different if someones carrying around pepper spray?
What we're making is a statement about people. It's like saying if everyone had a baseball bat, there would be a bloodly brawl on every street corner.
If people were really that bad, I'd think making sure no one has a bat is the least of our problems.
