Guns are designed to kill and maim. So you'd think there'd be some pretty stringent laws to control the buying and selling of arms around the world. But you'd be wrong.
The fact is the arms trade is out of control.... 2006 will see two crucial UN meetings where the future of the arms trade will be debated. Amnesty [International] will be at both meetings doing everything we can to make the world's leaders address this desperately important issue. We know we can make a difference.
