So what is the significance of a bunch of nitric acid in terms of WMD’s. I know a lot of conventional explosives are nitrogen based, but I’m wondering if Nitric acid is used to make nerve, blood or blister agents etc as well.

HN03 is used for making Nitrogen Mustard gas..a very nasty blister agent which targets mucous membranes. Eyes, nose, throat, lungs, etc..

Nitric acid is NOT a WMD.

Neither is chlorine, amonia, or sulfuric acid.

Don’t dilute the definition to suit your wishes.

There is a great difference between WMD and TIC (Toxic Industrial Chemicals) which maybe weaponized but are not WMD.
