Jordan and it's smiling tyrant King Abdullah has become the hub of the arms trade in the middle east. The arms trad is booming and as the narrator points out, most of these weapons will be used by governments against their own people.

The Dillon Aero M134D Gatling Gun, a “six-barreled, electrically driven machine gun chambered in 7.62mm NATO that fires at a fixed rate of 3,000 shots per minute.” It was one of countless killing machines featured at SOFEX.

Guns don't kill people; People kill people

Guns can be for defence or for offence. Many people don't agree/like that, but it is a basic fact of the world. Even before guns were invented, the same held true with other weapons.
People will ALWAYS find ways of killing each other.
The problem is not the guns; it is the fact that they want to kill each other.
The solution is not the guns; it is to stop people wanting to kill each other.
The figures show
Tyrants Have Killed Millions of People

This article is not about individual self-defence, this article is about tyrannical governments that spend billions of dollars of taxpayers money to buy weapons that are used to suppress and often massacre their own people.
America is now hovering on the edge of civil war.
Nations in the MIddle East and Asia are actively oppressing and killing thier people now.

Showing up 'governments' and regimes for dealing in and buying guns which can rip a crowd of protestors legs off before they can shout "please stop shooting us", is fair criticism though.
some kind of hapiness
Thankyou
