I see it as disincentivization, I guess not everyone's for measures like that.

I don't see how that'd do that though, if people feel like their life is being threatened I don't think they're going to have a fine at the forefront of their mind. 

See the edit.

 

Also; keeping it illegal allows judges to give more appropriate sentences *if* it ends up being a more ambiguous case.
