So, what's this site all about?
The Arms Trade Treaty is a worldwide agreement concerning weapons trafficking across the globe.
Control Arms, an Amnesty International Project (Hyperlinks Below) is the organisation fronting the campaign to save millions of lives by stopping illegal guns being sold to gangs, militias and terror organisations.
Here are some facts about firearms worldwide:
Over 1,000,000 guns are lost or stolen every year...
Around 1 in 3 people worldwide have been affected by some sort of gun-crime... thats 2,330,262,500 people world wide.
12 billion bullets were produced in 2009, the figure this year is expected to be 16 billion... or 508 bullets every second (this year).
1000 people are killed by a firearm every day... thats one every 88 seconds.
Somebody will be killed by a firearm during the time it takes you to read through this page...
