Tear gas is a chemical weapon and as such is banned in war according to the Geneva Conventions.

The article states, "It also lives in a legal gray zone, due to international treaties that allow it to be used in domestic law enforcement but not in war."

Right - that seems horribly wrong. It shouldn't be allowed for law enforcement either.

I don't disagree, but I'm not sure if any of these other countries have quite so many criminals and organized crime that are also armed to the teeth.

If the cops stopped carrying weapons, would the criminals stop as well?
