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.

A guest in this episode refers to 'rape gangs' in the UK.
In June 2025, Baroness Louise Casey presented the findings of her report into sexual abuse carried out by grooming gangs in England and Wales. She'd been asked by the British government to do the work.
