Will America ever put down its guns?

Another week, another mass shooting in the United States of America - a country with more guns than people.
 
Will anything stop the mass murder of sons, daughters, mothers and fathers by firearm?
 
Martha Kelner speaks to a survivor of the 2016 Pulse nightclub mass shooting that killed 49 people.

And then she speaks to one of the most conservative politicians in the country - who wants more guns in circulation and doesn’t feel gun laws are loose enough.
