Or at least purported to. The first quote:

> [@Bricker](#):
>
> “…capable of causing death or serious bodily injury to a significant number of people using chemicals, a disease organism, radiation or radioactivity.”

doesn’t match the second quote:

> [@Bricker](#):
>
> …any weapon that is designed or intended to cause death or serious bodily injury through the release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals…

You put the first quote in quotation marks, and baldly stated that it came from something you referred to as “United States policy”. What exactly is this “United States policy”? Is there actually some document that you got the first quote from? Or were you, as I said earlier, simply making shit up as you went along?
