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. For example, Senator Obama voted for a de facto one year ban on US exports of cluster bombs, and during the election campaign he expressed openness to signing the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
Joseph Biden, who will be the Vice-President, has frequently criticised US arms exports. He referred to a transfer of F-16 fighter planes to Pakistan as “dangerously misguided” and “reckless” in January 2008.
US arms exports have rocketed under the Bush administration, with US weapons sales to foreign countries in 2008 on track to be 45% higher than in 2007. Weapons worth $34 billion are currently on offer to Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and other countries.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence said the election of Obama-Biden "was a decisive victory for common sense gun laws", since Senator Obama has consistently supported sensible gun laws in both the US and Illinois State Senates. Senator Biden has also been a leader for strong gun laws throughout his political career.
The election results also constitute a 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”.

Tutu urges support for UN small arms control treaty
Oct 21, 2008
NEW YORK (AFP) — South Africa's retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu on Tuesday appealed to UN member states to "end the slaughter" resulting from the uncontrolled small arms trade by backing a global arms trade treaty.
In a message delivered to all 192 missions to the United Nations here, he pointed out that "in the last two years almost three quarters of a million people have died as a result of armed violence.
"You can and must act to control the deadly trade in weapons that is behind these deaths. There can be no further delay ... It is time to end the slaughter," he added.
Tutu's appeal came as the UN disarmament committee is set to vote on an Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) resolution next week. Some 85 countries are co-sponsoring the text.
"There are some states which are opposed to a Treaty. They will seek to block, derail, and delay any further progress. They will seek to convince you this treaty is not required or cannot work," Tutu said in his message.
"They must not be allowed to succeed, the human cost is too high," he said.
Tutu's message was delivered by activists of the Control Arms campaign, which is pushing for a strong treaty to stop the sales of small arms around the world.
The campaign was launched five years ago by Amnesty International, Oxfam International and the International Action Network on Small Arms.
In December 2006, the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution launching a process for a treaty to prevent arms transfers that fuel conflicts and serious human rights violations around the world.
Only the United States voted against, while 24 governments abstained.
That resolution asked then-UN secretary general Kofi Annan to seek the views of member states "on the feasibility, scope and draft parameters for a comprehensive, legally binding instrument establishing common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional arms."
