Realistically, what downsides would there be if first-world governments began banning spray paint? It is almost always used for criminal purposes nowadays.

You'd significantly decrease graffiti and with it the vandalism it entails. You'd also remove a source of intoxication for drug addicts chasing a high. I legitimately cannot think of a reason anyone would need canned spray paint other than to cause themselves or others trouble. Those who customize cars don't use cans, but their own high-grade applicators. Workmen might be slightly deprived, but we have shit like VR or UV/road paint if they badly need to know where to drill.

I want spray paint. I don't use it often, but when I need it, I want to be able to buy it. Banning it because some people use it for reasons that are not it's intended use is not a good enough reason. You think like a liberal, you faggot. "It offends me, so I want it banned!"

Holy shit, you dug through my comment history to give that riposte? That's unbelievably lame. Really. That's one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. You took time out of your day (which apparently isn't very valuable to you) to look through my comment history to try to defame and insult me? You actually thought I'd be ashamed of that comment, or that it would embarrass me? And you actually think I care about some summary judgment from an asshole like you, who wants to ban spray paint for everyone's own good, whether they like it or not?

London nationalists are having a nightmare of a time tearing out council surveilance cameras used to add fines to motorists with old cars in Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

I'm happy to tolerate graffiti knowing we have easy access to spray paint to deal with such issues.

Graffiti is the least of my worries.

Also, I admire some graffiti, especially the spray-painted stencil graffiti which is almost exclusively anti-zionist: walk through your capitol city and look behind street signs and you'll likely see such stencil art "graffiti".

I sketched some simple stencil designs during the Covid lockdowns because I was so enraged by social media censorship and wasn't sure if things were going to get worse and make all social media goyshot discussions vanish. Fortunately it didn't get that bad and social media activism remained the best way to reach people.

Stupid kids have a right to feel angry and hopeless as usury and inflation debt slaves under ZOG, even if they don't understand the cause.

Just because something is illegal doesn't make it wrong.

I like knowing I can use spray paint to write political messages on overpasses if the need arose.

I'm also terrified of any laws against any paint because mixing black paint with oil (any oil will do such as used cooking oil) and filling water balloons with that mixture is a profoundly effective defnse against government riot police and their vehicles:

* The black oily liquid makes vehnicles useless if you get it splashed on their windscreen, especially if they're attempting not to rundown their teammates. Burst a balloon against their rear window and the vehicle because unusable. Windscreen wipers only make it worse.

* Splashing riot police makes their transparent shields opaque and makes their gloves or hands too oily to hold the shield or operate a firearm. They also wouldn't even risk firing rubber bullets or smoke grenades when their teammates are covered with unknown oily stuff.

To be clear: This is just something I read and I don't condone such illegal behavior.

I also don't condone carrying bricks in your backpack to the roof of multi-story apartment, under the cover-story that you're taking photos of the view to share with your friends and family, because if SHTF because people, who are like you or are you, might find these stashes and throw them down at riot police and their vehicle windshields. This would be very bad and very illegal.

I'm currently painting my car. It's a small rust hole which would cost me over a grand at an autobody shop but doing it myself is around $100.

I've got a different spray can for primer, colour, clear coat, and rubberised paint for the wheel well.

Don't talk about what you don't understand.

Arrest the *criminals*; don't just make it harder for them to do crime. If they don't have spraypaint, it'll be sharpies and, meanwhile, the rest of us have to live like cavemen.

Hell I've even used the small cans of spray paint they sell for $10 at auto stores that match popular car models. It's not professional but on an old vehicle who cares.

Shut the fuck up faggot. Your opinions are propaganda or worse, your own simple thoughts.

You really cant think of a reason why spray paint is useful? It's just a quicker and easier version of paint in a can, I use it for random projects all the time.

I've been seeing a lot of post like this on here lately. Yesterday it was "very spicey peppers are bad"
It's like some people are desperate to post on social media but dont have anything important to say. That's a huge flag to go outside.
