Thanks. I wasn't sure about the legality of owning such items and was hoping to illustrate the futility of making them illegal. I agree with your assessment of the cylinders, however, there are simple ways (which I will also not go into) to make smoke grenades into tear gas-like munitions. That could have been the case here.

Re: Let's BAN Guns

I am surprised that the obvious has not yet been mentioned... Is is legal for a common citizen to own tear gas grenades? I am not sure, but doubt it.
