It isn't as though there is a UN Small Arms Treaty! This is exactly the type of killing of citizens the UN Small Arms Treaty was suppose to stop. National militarys are not effected by the UN Small Arms Treaty and may be the reason so many foolish rebels die along with citizens.

Kampala, Uganda (AP) " South Sudan's opposition (click here) leader Riek Machar and officials loyal to him are calling for an armed resistance to the government.
Machar, and top officials of the opposition SPLM-IO party, issued a statement Saturday saying their forces would reorganize to "wage a popular armed resistance against the authoritarian and racist regime of President Salva Kiir."
The statement, obtained by The Associated Press, was issued after a meeting of Machar and his top officials in Khartoum, Sudan. It is the first political statement by Machar since he fled the country in August, and adds to South Sudan's spiraling troubles.
James Gadet, a spokesman for Machar, told the AP "we have been driven back from the bush." He spoke by phone from Nairobi, Kenya.
