How can a nasal spray protect against bullets?

Maybe the spray has PCP in it so you just don't care about being shot.

Americans aren't too picky about who they shoot

As a fun science experiment, try popping a balloon at your local mall

I get the joke but for the sake of strict accuracy I'm so white I'm borderline translucent. I just meant that every mall around me is dead and abandoned.
