Because the arms trade is completely out of control - there are around 639 million small arms and light weapons in the world today, with limited regulations and excessive funding from UK and US governments. Without tighter control, such weapons will continue to fuel violent conflict, state repression, crime and domestic abuse.
While the UK government is supportive of an international Arms Trade Treaty, we need it to do more. We need to show that this is a top issue which the public cares about - forcing world leaders to sit up and listen.
Faces aren't just there to look pretty - use yours to show your support for Control Arms. |
