...well, if that's the case, then a person would probably die from lack of hydration before he does from lack of air (and one shouldn't wear a gag for that long, anyway, so that's besides the point). So if you're talking about a matter of time, then sure, gags can kill given enough time. If for some reason the gag was big enough to cover the nose, then of course breathing will become a problem. But no matter how "thick," no matter how many layers of whatever is added to the gag on the mouth, the result is still the same: breathing through the nose is not in any way affected. Thus, breathing in general is not affected...unless you intend to shove that gag down someone's throat, then you've got yourself a problem.
It's like saying you have two holes in a bucket. Water can pour through any of the holes. What happens when you block one hole with a piece of duct tape? Water will still flow through the second hole, right? Now try plugging one of the holes with
ten pieces of duct tape. What's the result?
