37. Mr Creepy: Can gun bans prevent school shootings?

25 years ago, a man walked into Dunblane Primary School and opened fire on a gymnasium full of school children. The horror of this event led to a change in gun legislation - did it work?

The US has more school shootings than any other country in the world, should the US adopt the UK’s gun legislation?

This episode includes audio from the documentary Dunblane: Our Story, produced by STV Productions Ltd & Berrif McGinty Films Ltd.
