Coming up this week on Riz Khan:

Cho Seung-hui [Reuters]
Anand Naidoo is sitting in for Riz Khan this week.

The 2nd Amendment to the US constitution enshrines "the right of the people to keep and bear arms".

Five weeks ago, Virginia Tech student Cho Seung-Hui walked into a gun shop, bought a gun and ammunition with his credit card, and went on a rampage on Monday, killing 32 people.

Many American gun control advocates have argued that Cho could not have killed 32 people with a baseball bat or a knife.

On Wednesdays show, we speak to two experts to shed light on both gun culture in America, and the psyche of mass murderers.

Gary Kleck is a professor of criminology at Florida State University, and a leading expert on the links between guns, violence and gun control laws in the United States.

Katherine Newman is a professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University and author of Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings.
