Don't think it's aired yet, but this often happens in TV. Some other story on the day it was due to be shown was deemed more important, so they bumped it.

It'll probably pop up on a slow news day sometime.

I was looking yesterday, just because of this , don't usually watch news lite like this, and she said today was gonna have " Americans, why do they love guns so much ".... why do I feel the inevitable link between us and the lunatic fringe of american shooting which these people always feature??? coincidence ? I dont think so, of course the link might be to highlight how responsible and civic minded British shooters are ....what do you think?
In fact I feel a link to Chucks post about colorectal surgery coming on for some reason, bend over lads!!!!

I'd not worry

The BBC article states the total number of guns owned.

It then gives the total number of gun related deaths. ...no breakdown of that number into illegal/gang related/murders/self-defence/accidents/suicides, etc....

Then quotes Obama being sad that he wasn't able to pass further restrictions contrary to the 2nd Amendment.

Yip....it'll be totally impartial & reflect UK shooting in positive terms.

No complaints from me, didn't have an anti stance as far as I could see, although the use of FA was exploited quite a bit.
