as we have more than two thousand political prisoners i'm behind right now of course if you look at the system what the bahamian government is trying to do is they're trying to label many of these prisoners us terrorists. big bucks but. we're going to go did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy which. will. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our crust of a girl we've been a hydrogen why a handful of trans national corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once will just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem you're trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing america by the book you know ready to
10:30 am
join the movement then walk a little bit there. this is cumberland county in south kentucky deep in the american countryside far from the sprawl of life. a place where alcohol is neither sold not consumed in the bible reign supreme. in a village of eight hundred people there are forty churches. it is a pious closed community get weapons are a part of every day life here for protection and so hunting. exposed from childhood it is not unusual here to own your first gun in kinda got.
10:31 am
how many people own guns in this village more probably to window. with these things are you. saying that in the absence of the big man here i'll go and not everybody in my county is called the way of life here yeah everybody wants around here and they much else to do fish i would say you know a very hard majority country people own guns my grandson started her when he was probably three or four years out so it just and i got one at hans he wanted fish is so so so for you go to kindergarten you get your first. cock yes that's what they want the family of a southern kentucky two year old girl shot and killed in her home says it was all an accident he received the rifle specially made for children as a gift last year. cumberland county hit the front pages of news world wide in may and five year old christina shot his two year old sister dead with a gun he received as a gift for his fifth birthday
10:32 am
a real gun with real bullets the manufacturer has openly advertised to children as . rifle. i'm. sure many a cricket rifle i wish i had won the cricket is the perfect way to get young or small framed shooters started right with the safety promoting design it's soft shooting affordable and accurate. while the mother was in the kitchen christian picked up his gun and unaware that it was still loaded he accidentally shot his sister in the chest. caroline spock's was rushed to hospital but tragically she died soon after. i could hardly understand my daughter because she was so excited and crying and hysterical and said that you know you know it's easier been shot and i just and i my heart just sank and as soon as i got in the car got in the back seat and i couldn't breathe i just i guess it
10:33 am
was anxiety and i was so so scared that you know she just she was gone that i didn't know what to die a member i rolled the window down to try to breathe because i could hardly take a breath. we went to the hospital and i just walked up to the nurses one said i was their grandmother can i please go back and see her and i don't usually they don't let you do things like that but they let me and i went back there and you know she was already you know in a coma. for the help of the brain swelling. and so she looked perfect i held her hand and. talked to her but couldn't hear me. this is the grandmother of another child bizzare ago but. both families live in the same area. as daria was shot in the forehead by another child. and what do the doctors tell you. that she was in critical condition that she would
10:34 am
not make it that you know the bullet was lodged and they had shared a lot of brain swelling and that you know they didn't know most likely it would not be good. to compare myself and. louisville kentucky is the closest major city to cumberland county. this is where caroline's boxes ambulance was heading when she passed away and. there's the emergency room and track 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 co's at 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
10:35 am
a year are coming to us hospitals that shelters every single year in the united states fifteen thousand children come into hospital dollars it's. fifteen 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 amounts incredible and all preventable what kind of shots 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 itself sits away from the bone so order to reattach to this and make the wound clean again this child would have to be pinned
10:36 am
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 the massive possession of weapons in this 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 the. 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.
10:37 am
well six i went hunting with the yanks. but i missed it here so. this isn't a very very shallow. you know just 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 should trust me with this guy trusted ok. let's give it a 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 with davis nice to meet you yes or no need
10:38 am
to go to from the netherlands from where the netherlands the netherlands yes i have lots of guns we do have lots of amenities. typically in stock we've got some more point 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 one of their plastic is like a real head oh yeah most definitely yes i know it looks like a slogan you know it's there in the bust of this america well that is just the
10:39 am
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 is like a how much is a gun like that. dressed up like that one is i have a look at the price tag it is probably about fourteen hundred dollars with a scope there's another paint gun mess. for the ladies we carry a huge stock a hand guns everything you've got 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 kools guns made especially for children. with the. sometimes they'll have a shorter stock to make it easier for their length of pull because their arms are shorter most of the time they'll be lighter because they can't hold up as much
10:40 am
here's a very good example i want to even have them in colors like a korean of course pink for the young girl's camel for the future han or 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 book skateboards are you going to outlaw skateboards are you going to confiscate pogo sticks everything require supervision.
10:41 am
so jamie you can begin to grow already yeah i hope don't hunger good to see that. i do it you don't do it yeah our boys are you know i was. 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 the hard work it's enough good food especially meat. and there's something else they love to i doing you know you get i hear you sitting down it's. we also keep the gun in the house yes going to see the. gun came these are a little over here and this one twenty two and two shot. stay right
10:42 am
here this shot. what he did you have a nation also here. and it's like turkey ok shells. we have good looks better because i'm too afraid you know all the guns in your house but the five year now he's in my face looks like yeah which is a safe why is that what we're. going 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 they have to earn my trust to do those things like you the key that they they know where it's at today you know when i were 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 do you know it's ok. to work. through
10:43 am
gaining ground in this war just. after dinner the children go outside to practice that same verse hoping that back. a member the first time i saw fox and i became a pops came into being after i left leave the united states to live abroad when i first saw it i just thought what is this this is opinion t.v. there are no facts at all it's just opinion i personally i was really shocked at what has happened to my country because there's no news in this this news station you know if you if you click around or you go through all of the major news websites i mean it tends to be the same story to a certain a certain level or degree and not much new information and clearly this business model. that it's not a secret is to. carry
10:44 am
a conservative or republican agenda and their major goal if you watch their show is to really make sure obama doesn't succeed as a democrat so it's a business model they made a decision. to limit george is on a big journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through two hundred cities of russia. really by fourteen thousand people or sixty thousand killing. in a record setting trip by land air sea numbers face. a limp the torch relay. on r t v dot com. at one time i saved money to hire a hitman to shoot me dead from the next building through the open window. i searched through the internet typing things like i'm looking for you i'm waiting
10:45 am
for you i wrote i'm waiting for. well you know i'm looking for you know i didn't care at all what this man would be like deprived disabled. or you know you want the battery is right. i love everything about him i have grown to love every hair everyone just fingertips to him actually be healthier and other guys who drink beer in a branch i've always promised that if she ever realizes it's too much for her and she decides to leave me i will accept her decision without criticism because it's her choice.
10:46 am
to young to own a gun. why not. we're not all pro do you know it's not right. i not afraid of something happens with a gun the excellence of something. well the image you have it's not right i think you honestly do need the positive side ever now because you know only what is supposed to fight the pauses that is the 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 responsibility. 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
10:47 am
american academy of pediatrics the american academy of pediatricians in the united states in two thousand and twelve that a policy statement stating that the only safe home in the united states is a home without a gun and i stand behind that probably. just around the corner from my caroline sparks was shot dead is one of the largest shooting grounds in the united states. is eight thousand the shooting ground is larger than eleven thousand football pitches. so this is what we call the point to give you some perspective the most of our property is all north of us and west this is nick noble owner of rock also shooting range despite the tragic incidents in the neighborhood he still see shooting as innocent fun. i call
10:48 am
golf with a shotgun so you're going from from whole the whole station to station and then scoring and going to the end of the 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 this 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 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
10:49 am
a picture english are 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 that's it for time i can understand why children find a use who would give a thrill a bit of adrenaline yes i said understand that yeah is it weiss to learn the kid how to shoot when such a tragic accident happens around the corner here there's between two and three 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 says this is how you feel with guns
10:50 am
that it you have to train. but i thought you know if she even led that she'd be brain damaged and maybe school 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 our bets the ball. for azhar his grandmother children and weapons should never be combined. grandma who was in the coma for two weeks with a bullet lodged in her brain. it's a new it is obviously. the by. well it's still in the head it's too difficult to remove it. but obviously not she leads the life of any seven year old. charlie chilling out. what are the chances that it will survive something like that
10:51 am
well one of the million and the doctors say that the baby never seen nothing like this before so they called the miracle baby. souls sat. down with a child a high school and writes around. and they hit you. what it was if you hit you with a cold it's a searing. little got to your head yes. i would have got to say you were lucky a little bit. and cough. told you to wear gold hill. because of the accident bizarre his parents lost their rights to parental. grandmother now has full custody. together they visit the hospital where is are it was treated. on. the look crazy
10:52 am
its. own luck as a whole while i. can't believe his looks to. my shield up rolling eyes you can't even hardly tell it was their looks just like a little scrape now. they're getting schooled your good sense for every day to keep the 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 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 that what i do is good.
10:53 am
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 in ghana 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 successful and the 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
10:54 am
a business you know he's been 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 movie is now a symbol for the gun debate throughout the united states president obama one stricter gun control but is met with a resistance from the countryside even in the village of caroline sparks board taken the right so i don't buy if you're there we're doing. so even after the tragedy when i or the directly about you still believe it or guns that you have the children yeah yeah meets on the project you say so so you say this gun for five six seven year olds is safe gun you even though it supervision your own grandchildren you would give the great irony that many pictures with their with
10:55 am
maybe one day i hope that phil 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 oh rather than spending saturdays playing football they go to the shooting range. why do you like shooting so much. stress. shooting helps the roof stress you know. and i'm sure afraid something happens a children every day and us die because of the ones aren't you afraid it happens to you why not because what it would be made to shoot so.
10:56 am
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 guns are never say. and because of that there's a family that's very sad wallace mr daughter and i'm very blessed that we have you with us. after some kids were there never taught the difference between i am in a real gun i think that's where some of the accidents come in deploy i mean you 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 this in france right here is a gunshot wound close to the head in the temple area unfortunately this is one of
10:57 am
the children did make it we were unable to revive this child this is the gun debate through the eyes of children and simply through the eyes of children this is the through the eyes of her own sparks if we can do it for our children for our future what is the country is safer. time to reset this sucker of the global financial system is come good to keep time to rebuild something better something less corrupt perhaps in fact this three architecting of the global financial system is happening right now as i speak these words doesn't matter whether you like it or not it is happening why the research well the former french prime minister dominique de villepin recently said the u.s.
10:58 am
