Control Arms called on governments to introduce global principles to regulate transfers of weapons and ensure that they do not end up in the hands of human rights abusers.The problem with this statement is that it ignores the fact that GOVERNMENTS are predomininantly the human rights abusers.

How true... And how predictable... Lefties routinely cheer on government abuses (it's for the sake of the children, after all)...

During the 20th century, wars killed about 40 million people while governments killed over 100 million of their own citizens.
