The U.S. government, according to its own reporting, accounts for 66% of all the weapons exported to the least democratic quintile of nations on earth.

Of the 50 most oppressive governments identified by a U.S.-government-funded study, the U.S. arms 82% of them.

The Stop Arming Human Rights Abusers Act (H.R.4718) would prevent U.S. weapons sales to other nations that are in violation of international human rights law or international humanitarian law.

The U.S. government allows, arranges for, or in some cases provides the funding for, U.S. weapons sales to 41 of the 50 most oppressive countries in the world. Here they are: Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Brunei, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa), Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Ethiopia, Gabon, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Libya, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Oman, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Yemen.

Israel's government, notorious for its violent oppression of Palestinian people, is not on that list but is the top recipient of "aid" funding for U.S. weapons from the U.S. government.

Here's an easy step to radically reduce violence in the world: Stop arming it!
