Campaign to end small arms

I heard about the campaign to end small arms on a podcast of the Lancet Student. I thought it was great--and surprising--that the medical student community was signing on to a campaign to ban the light, available weapons that cause so much suffering in conflicts around the world. It's not just the obvious (weapons kill people) but there's another link here: conflicts cause displacement which in turn causes diseases through unsafe conditions, malnutrition, etc. Conflicts today arguably kill more people through disease and displacement than from injury.
