A really bad argument.
I thought all chemical weapons are out, just like all nukes are out.
Yes there exist nukes less destructive than conventional weapons but it's probably best to just have a blanket ban.

Baby got sick while being saved? from a mentally disturbed adult because they didn't put a bullet in the adults head as a matter of course.
Not a great argument either.
And if you dump enough tear gas in a truck full of adults you can asphyxiate them......
