".
You want to make the so-called ‘legal’ trade in what you call traditional weapons more ethical, and ban it according to criteria relating to their probable use (terrorist acts, human rights violations, aggravating or triggering conflicts, etc.). This is certainly a laudable intention.
But at the same time, and for several years, the European Union has repeatedly been shaken by a debate on whether to lift the arms embargo on China. That country is still a communist dictatorship, where there are still
forced labour, persecution of Christians, the subjugation of the Tibetan people, etc.
In this context, your vague desire appears at best hypocritical, and at worst cynical."@en1
