Answer 1

depends on where you are on the world but generally the issue is because allowing civillians to use non lethal ammo creates ambiguity:

now if you see someone pulling a gun on you if there is doubt that they got live ammo, youi might be braver than you should….and this is how you actually end up increasing gun fatalities.

it may seem nonsensical, but disallowing non lethal round for civvie use might actually end up saving more lives as it forces everyone to respect the guns.
