Once More: NO MORE WAR.

Literally all of Minnesota:
"Riot control agents such as tear gas were originally used as weapons to immobilize or even kill combatants... Tear gas is banned in international warfare under the Chemical Weapons Convention... Despite this, tear gas is a widely used domestic policing tactic." mndaily.com/city/how-muc...
