Tonight: America and Its Guns

The Sandy Hook massacre is now recognised as the most notorious and shocking mass shooting in the USA. Twenty children were killed in cold blood alongside their teachers, in a place that should have meant care and safety, not death and fear. Three months on, and despite grieving parents and presidential promises, it is unlikely that much will be done to change the gun laws. ITV News Washington correspondent Robert Moore travels across the States, examining the attachment between Americans and their firearms. He talks to gun owners about why they have guns - and why they would never give them up. He meets families who have suffered the consequences of a society where ownership of these weapons is so ingrained, and in an extraordinary interview, he meets a father whose son accidentally shot his little sister.
