Closed S.T.A.Tr Stop The Arms Trade

Closed on

The arms trade should be stopped because over 1,500 people are killed everyday because of the arms trade.

Some of these people might have died because of
excessive force by state security, armed murder
and war.

The arms trade causes over 500,000
deaths every year.

The reason I want the government to stop the arms trade is because the arms trade has caused a lot of
deaths and it has fueled a lot of wars.

If this continues then there will more deaths and more wars. If we stop the arms trade then we can stop more unnecessary deaths and we can also stop fueling wars.
