European made guns sold in the US

I noticed this editorial opinion in the Guardian a while ago. It is suggesting European gun makers.. the largest of whom sell large percentages of their production to the US ....should be curtailed from selling guns to America to counter the violence of guns in the US.

The United Nations’ arms trade treaty, for instance, seeks to regulate arms transfers that could exacerbate conflict or be used to commit violations of human rights law. All EU states have signed the treaty and all, save for Greece and Cyprus, have ratified it. With as many as 110,000 people being injured or killed by guns every year there, could we be bold enough to say that the US is a nation in conflict?
