Reducing gun violence
We look at projects trying to cut down deaths and injuries from firearms.
The misuse of guns is a problem for lots of countries across the world. This week we look at projects trying to tackle this.
In the US we visit the company which says it has successfully developed the world’s first ‘smart gun’ which uses facial recognition and fingerprints to identify the gun owner - meaning only they can fire the gun. We also speak to a woman who’s convinced police in the UK to speak to them before issuing gun licences to their partners.
