a thousand dollars in taxes but strangely according to the international business times she was ordered to undergo psychiatric counseling because she believes in conspiracy theories related to the music industry hill wrote in her own tumblr account that the music industry is manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex this is a strong accusation from hill but is actually irrelevant if it is true or not you see punishments are supposed to fit the crime and the crime of tax evasion should not have a punishment of mandatory counseling or as more paranoid types like me like to call it reprogramming although they are usually trivial this celebrity case actually sets a dangerous legal precedent but that's just my opinion. this

be good. to compare myself and. louisville kentucky is the closest major city to cumberland county. this is where caroline's boxes ambulance was headed when she passed away. there's the emergency room and friends and then of course all the adult. down this way and they will stop right at the door vocalists are tolerant to resell as is a board member of the cozy children's hospital in louisville. every day the hospital is confronted with the downside of mask on possession in the state of kentucky. how many children a year coming to us hospitals that show up every single year in the united states fifteen thousand children come into hospital with the young daughters. fifteen
11:35 am
thousand children and if you build in the united states with adults it's thirty two thousand people are killed with a gun every single year in the united states mazing of miles incredible and all preventable what kind of a shot once you get in this hospital. because we are a level one trauma center we get the most critical gunshot wounds of all gunshot wounds that happen in the state of kentucky and when we talk about this picture of a child's picture was shot in the middle of the area all the tendons are of balls within the hand area the self sits away from the bone so order to reattach to this and make the wound clean again this child would have to be pinned with metal pins if the child could even be saved at that point in time work would be to base we work with us on a daily basis on a daily basis in this hospital to reason her colleagues witness the dark side to
11:36 am
the massive possession of weapons in that state to reason six three me critical of the ease with which weapons are dealt with here she's angry that manufacturers use children as a target audience. they're still learning how to tell time they're still learning how to cut with scissors it's more than strange but when they market guns to children they make them in pastel blue and pretty barbie a pink light just like barbie dolls they make them with swirls and then they call them. cute little names like cricket from chipmunks just as though if you owned a gun you would belong to a disney club. this is the would family for them shooting is an activity for the whole family including the young the children. well six i went hunting so. that obviously here.
11:37 am
isn't a very very shallow. you know this in holland would be like very illegal. well in kentucky in the united states it's just part of the way we operate and this is the local shooting range. they share trust me with this guy trusted. this cable to go to. the free possession of the is in trying to in the us constitution and his inseparable from countryside life here. looking for ways to share with davis. or would davis nice to meet you yes or no needs to go to from the netherlands from where the netherlands the netherlands yes i have lots of guns we do have lots of things amenities. typically in stock we've
11:38 am
got some more going fifteen hundred two thousand one hundred goes up and down but fifteen hundred a small number for us how many do you sell here oh gosh i'd have to look at the numbers but you're probably looking at seven date that also. feel like that one right there that's definitely pointed towards a lady. a lady would buy that farm and that would be her a r fifteen we're husband might on that one right there or something that one of their and that plastic is like a real head oh most definitely yesterday. it looks like a toy gun when it's there and the blast of the summer well that is just the furniture meaning those are just the excess sarees that you put on a plain black gun like it to make it to doll it up like that and how much it's like how much is a gun like that the dressed up like that one is i have
11:39 am
a look at the price tag it is probably about four hundred dollars with a scope there's another paint gun mess. for the ladies we carry a huge stock a hand guns every thank you thank god from target gonna stay a little bitty angle gone self-defense guns target guns you know we don't have this in evidence it's like we don't have weapons store so for us this is not really yes what we all do to protect ourselves nothing. show would davis has weapons of all shapes and sizes from guns to semiautomatic and of cool guns made especially for children. with the. sometimes they'll have a shorter stock to make it easier for their length of pocas their arms are shorter most of the time they'll be lighter because they can't hold up as much here's a very good example i want to even have them in colors like a korean of course pink for the young girls cam all for of
11:40 am
a future honner this children's gun is marketed as my first rifle it is the same gun that killed caroline spock's yet the state of kentucky support the sale of it. i could lay this gun right here loaded and i could come back in ten years and i'll guarantee you if nobody picks up that gun it will have not hurt anybody. so you know the gun is simply a tool or a coal oil so you say guns don't kill people guns do not kill people people kill people with five year olds also don't kill people but they get killed look skateboards are you going to outlaw skateboards are you going to confiscate pogo sticks everything require supervision.
11:41 am
so jamie you can begin to grow already yeah yeah hope don't hunger good to see that . i do it you don't do it yeah. you know what. the goods are a typical kentucky family father jamie's a farmer he has eight hundred dairy cows there's a mill to twenty four hours a day the woods are hard work and they love good food especially meat. and there's something else they love to i doing you know you get i hear you soothing goats. we also keep the gun in the house yes going to see the pushchair maybe no gun can these or muzzle loaders and this was a twenty two and two shot. they said oh yes. what he did you have a nation also here. and it's like turkey ok. we
11:42 am
have good looks better because i'm too afraid no guns in your house does the five you know peace in my case it was like yeah which is a safe and why there was bird here. come here. do you trust your children with those weapons you know i mean it's not you know here's a gun go out no it's a tom over time you know they have to earn my trust to do those things like you the key that they they know words that today you know when i was smaller know that key was put up that keys where they didn't know where it was it was either on my key chain and you know they couldn't get in a gun cabinet this is if it is easy to you know it's ok. to work you know gaining ground you know this was just. after dinner the children go outside to practice that savors held me in that backyard.
11:43 am
sigrid laboratory to mccurdy was able to build a new its most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a dollar amount anything tunes mission to teach the creation of why it should care about humans and world events this is why you should care watch only on our t.v. dot com. this is the media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same motion security for the party visible. pushes that no one is asking with
11:44 am
the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . that. you guys to young to own a gun. why not. they're not we're not all pro do you know it's often. i not afraid of something happens with a gun the excellence of something. well the aim is you have it's not right i think you honestly do need the positive side they were now because you know only what is
11:45 am
supposed to fight the process that is a large you know i mean this teaches them i'm not saying that they're going to be better than anybody else's children when they grow up but i mean you teaches them a lot of response ability. you know what the gun rights advocates will say you're using this threat of death of caroline sparks to get your own message across i hope they do say that because it is my methods but it is also the message of the american academy of pediatrics the american academy of pediatricians in the united states in two thousand and twelve a policy statement stating that the only safe home in the united states is a home without a gun and i stand behind that belief. just around the corner from my caroline sparks who shot dead is one of the largest shooting grounds in the united states. as eight thousand
11:46 am
this shooting ground is larger than eleven thousand triple pick choose. so this is what we call the point of give us some perspective the most of our property is all north of us and west this is nick noble owner of the range despite the tragic incidents in the neighborhood he still sees shooting as an innocent fun. i call golf with a shotgun so you're going from from whole the whole station to station and then scoring and going to the end it's a day out there today out. in the shooting club equipped with a restaurant and hotel is a family destination because of the vast size of the cost of this to travel by car between the fifty shooting stations this particular station is a recreation of a cowboy village. so this is where the action happens this is it this is one of our many ranges but to be a good place for us to come down and maybe test out
11:47 am
a few different types of. nick noble wants to prove that shooting doesn't have to be dangerous. first of all we always keep guns pointed in a safe direction even when it's unloaded we assume that every firearm is a loaded until we can prove otherwise when you're handling a firearm you never have that finger on it so it's if you're even taking a picture and there's an old always well yeah parallel with that and then and then the only time i ever put a finger on the triggers and we're actually engaged in the target and ready to shoot and then i'll actually put my finger on the trigger but any time i pick this up fingers off which are. ok to hit anything yes it did because i could understand why children find these who would give a thrill a bit of adrenaline yes i can understand that yeah is it wise to learn a kid how to shoot when such a tragic accident happens around the corner here there's between two and three
11:48 am
hundred million guns the united states so you can act like they're not here and keep kids away from them and i think that's when i when i believe that it's my personal opinion that when kids become curious about what they don't know is when the accidents happen is so different than putting a child a sixteen year old child in a vehicle with no training on an interstate. this is how you feel with guns that it you have to train. of thought you know if she even lead she would be brain damaged and make you scared even see kids you know that your eye is right there and i just feel so worried that she would never be normal again or in a coma forever are bats the ball. for azhar his grandmother children and weapons should never be combined. granddaughter was in the coma for two weeks with a bullet lodged in her brain.
11:49 am
it's a new it is obviously by by. the. well it's still in the head it's too difficult to remove. much of anything much she needs in the life of any seven year old. charlie charlie now. what are the chances that a deal survives something like that well one of a million and the doctors say that the baby never seen nothing like this before so they called the miracle baby. schools sat. down with a child a high school and writes i doubt. any hit you. what it was if you hit you with a quote it's sad a serious. look at the right look. at
11:50 am
what it got to say you were lucky a little bit. and only cost. you to wear gold bill. because of the accident bizzare his parents lost their rights to parental care. how grandmother now has full custody. together they visit the hospital where as our it was treated. on. the look crazy its. own luck as a whole one. can't believe his looks. i healed up really nice you can't even hardly tell that was their looks just like a little scrape now. they're getting squire good sense for him every day to keep school oh that's fantastic they've taught you well you can't even tell. i've done this for thirty years and there are children that you always remember they just
11:51 am
stick in your head and i have my special words and she's one of the special ones you remember and see her now she's fabulous. absolutely fabulous and this is the recovery that you always hope for a small nergal a small miracle definitely something that you're doing so good. makes me know that what i'm here for is worthwhile. makes me know what i'd do if. the figures are truly shocking more than fifteen thousand children each year abroad hospitals across america with gunshot wounds and eight children die every day because of the consequences. mr hill it's a cruel ruin the gun from that's public television i left a couple of messages i think six or seven attempts to speak with someone from the gun lobby on successfully
11:52 am
a secretary admits that due to the death of caroline spokes this is not a popular topic of conversation for the arms manufacturers. caroline sparks is buried here on the outskirts of cumberland county. her brother and mother regularly visit a gas station nearby which also serves as a convenience store or a business you know him on. just about on average of almost lost weight you know ever since men like her mom there's a bear her second grandmother there with a second grandmother so you must be heard when you heard the news yes really heard about it that i heard about it. and so this small village is now a symbol for the gun debate throughout the united states president obama once stricter gun control but is met with resistance from the countryside even in the village of caroline sparks board taken the right so i don't buy if you're there
11:53 am
we're doing. so even after the tragedy he went over that directly about you still believe it or your guns that you have the children yeah yeah need some the protect you say so so you say this gun for five six seven year olds is safe gun you would even go if supervision your own grandchildren you would give the great irony that many pictures with them with maybe one day i hope to fill look back at these pictures of robert ray i'm very good. with alex and t.j. owning and shooting guns from the young ages of twelve and seven the woods will continue to consider shooting a family activity though rather than spending size days playing football they go to the shooting range.
11:54 am
why do you like shooting so much. stress. shooting helps to really stress. and i'm sure afraid something happens a children every day and us die because of chatrooms aren't you afraid it happens to you why not because what it would be made to shoot so. and someone else who is trying to or. when you think it's innocent when you with kids involved you think there's not a bullet in there you think it's just like you think everything's safe but it's not never say. and because of that there's a family that's very sad always mr daughter and i'm very blessed that we have you with us. after some kids were there never talked the difference between i am in a real gun i think that's where some of the accidents come into play i mean you
11:55 am
were talking about the incident in cumberland county how do you know that child wasn't thinking that that gun was just a ploy again. if you look at this in front above the infant's right ear is a gunshot wound close to the head in the temple area unfortunately this is one of the children did make it we were unable to revive this child this is the gun debate . through the eyes of children this is the. parent sparks if we can do it for our children for our future what is the country the safer.

11:57 am
whole world at risk. of the. real damage and complexity of this oil spill was not something you can grasp just by looking at dirty birds we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have a reported all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business if b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the u.s. war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for democracy it's a step forward for a little carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spray can be and it was it was not a picture. either the government or b.p. really wanted to i don't want dispersants to be the agent.
