The US Supreme Court says governments cannot ban guns, that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to self defense. So what happens to gun control? Will gun sales go up? Will gun owners be safer at home? What regulations might be permitted in the interests of public safety? Also, the fragile truce between Hamas and Israel, and the African Union summit and Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe.
