Inside Story Americas - What fuels the love for guns in the US?

  • 11 years ago
There are nearly 300 million firearms in the US which is almost as many guns as there are people. It is in fact the most heavily armed country per capita in the world. In this first episode of our Inside Story Americas special series: Guns, culture and crime in the US, we look at why the debate over gun control is so polarised and travel to West Virginia - a place where shooting guns is a sport that has been passed down over generations - to find out what fuels the love for guns in this country.
