New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is looking to ban all automatic weapons by April 11th, when she hopes legislation will be put through.

So, it seems it can be that easy.  So why is it such an issue for other parts of the world - namely the United States?

To discuss, Ivan was joined by Victoria Jones, Executive Director at DC Radio Company, and Michael Hammond, legislative counsel for the Gun Owners of America.

Can the US do it?  Is there an appetite for it?  Or is it all a bit futile?
