International Gun Trade Targeted at U.N.

International Gun Trade Targeted at U.N.

UNITED NATIONS - As diplomats from around the world gather this week to lay the groundwork for a major June summit on arms control, leading rights advocacy groups are demanding that governments agree on a proposed treaty that would ban the illegal trade in guns.

"No one but a criminal would knowingly sell a gun to a murderer, yet governments can sell weapons to regimes with a history of human rights violations or to countries where weapons will go to war criminals," says Barbara Stocking, director of the international humanitarian group Oxfam International.

Just remember all the countries, and groups of people that the US gave weapons to that they have turned around and started a war with...Osama, Taliban, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran...is next.
