Why exactly is pepper spray illegal in the first place? How many violent crimes are commited with pepper spray in places it is legal? What exactly does the Danish government recommend a woman to do if she is being raped/assaulted and nobody is around?

 

I could just as easily ask you what the US goverment recommends doing if some asshole decides to pepper spray you into blindness because of a personal dispute.

Unlike pepper-spray assaults, rape assaults actually exist at a high enough proportion and have much more devastating effects (mental health issues.) Pepper spray saves more people than it harms by probably an order of magnitude (albeit I haven't looked into actual statistics on this matter.)
