Heckler & Koch is the world's second-largest manufacturer of assault rifles and submachine guns. Millions of H&K weapons are in use and have caused 1.5 million deaths around the world. The company's international sales office is based in Nottingham.

Now local anti-arms-trade activists have set up a campaign against Heckler & Koch. For more information, see the website and join the Notts Anti-Militarism mailing list by sending an e-mail to  nottsantimilitarism-subscribe@lists.riseup.net.
