Note that when exporting weapon systems they need approval from DoD and other federal agencies. But tear gas is not covered by those export laws. Just DoC which isn't a big deal.

- cairo_x 7y agoPeople always bring the DoD thing up as if it's a valid excuse, or that it somehow transfers moral responsibility to the DoD. Like there being legal loopholes to get what they want makes it OK to flaunt their psychopathy.
- JumpCrisscross 7y ago> Like there being legal loopholes It’s not a loophole. It’s the point of the law. We export weapons under the guidance of our government. There is a political check on munitions. Not everyone likes the defense industry, but banning weapons exports polls terribly. In this case, that democratic check is released. That makes it different from traditional weapons exports.
