US, mass shootings and the Second Amendment: why is it so hard to make gun laws stricter in America? - a podcast by 5 News

Host Andy Bell talks to Saul Cornell, Professor of constitutional history at Fordham University in New York and gun control advocate, to find out how American gun regulations work, what the Second Amendment has got to do with them, and why attempts to restrict them have failed so far.
