OBAMA E AS ARMAS LIGEIRAS E DE PEQUENO PORTE

The election of Barack Obama as US President should improve the
political environment for progress on gun violence prevention and
reducing US arms exports, according to IANSA members in the USA. Frida
Berrigan of the Arms and Security Initiative pointed to several signs
that the change of government could mean arms exports come under greater
scrutiny. The results also constitute a huge defeat for the leadership
of the National Rifle Association, which said it spent more than $10
million to tell voters that Barack Obama would be "the most anti-gun
President in American history".
