Not so small arms vol. 2

In that same minute that someone is dying, there are 15 new arms manufactured around the world for sale. There are nearly 640 million small arms in the world today, basically one for every ten people. The total value of the combined sales of arms by the top 100 producing companies in the world is about $236 billion per year, or roughly equal to the combined national output of the 61 lowest income countries in the world. Of the top 100 arms-producing companies, 38 of them are based in the United States. Do the math. THe only people winning armed struggles are the arms manufacturers themselves. Stop the violence.
