small arms control

Small arms control refers to policies and measures aimed at managing the production, distribution, and use of lightweight weapons, such as handguns and rifles, which are easy to carry and operate. Its goal is to reduce gun violence, prevent arms trafficking, and promote public safety. Efforts may include international treaties to limit arms sales, stricter regulations for gun ownership, and initiatives to disarm conflict regions. By controlling small arms, governments and organizations seek to address the dangers posed by these weapons in both domestic and global contexts, ultimately striving for a safer environment for all.
