Women and Guns in America

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Why are more women buying guns in the US? We have a special report from a women-only club at a Virginia shooting range by Jane O'Brien. Also, presenter Manuela Saragosa speaks to Brian Ruttenbur of CRT Capital Group who says President Obama's administration has, paradoxically, been a boon to the US firearms industry. The BBC's Nkem Ifejika in Abuja tells us what Nigeria's presidential elections mean for the country's economy and its business community. And, our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times explains how you get people to reply to your emails. (Photo: A Women fires a pistol at a gun club.
