how many people own guns in this village more probably. with these things that are . actually not in that stand to bring him here i'll go not everybody in the county is quote a way of life here yeah everybody wants around here and they much else to do it one hundred feet 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 he. and i got one and i want to feel she's. so so when 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 well why didn't they and five year old christina shot his two year old sister dead with a gun he received as a gift for his fifth birthday

a real gun with real bullets the manufacturer has openly advertised to children is . right for. i'm. sure many a cricket rifle irish guy trying to do cricket is the perfect way to get young or small framed shooters started right into 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 he was still loaded he accidentally shot his sister in the chest. caroline sparks was rushed to hospital. tragically she died soon often. i could hardly understand my daughter because she was so excited and crying and hysterical and said 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 was anxiety and i was so so scared that you know she this she was gone that i didn't know what to do i remember i rolled the window down to try to breathe but i could hardly take a breath. and 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 on. them so she looked she looked perfect i held her hand and. talked to her but couldn't hear me. this is the grandmother of another child zaria go by. 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 may

not make it that you know the bullet was lodged and they had shed 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. there's the emergency room and track and of course all they have. and they will stop right at the door. as a board member of the 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 shelters every single year in the united states fifteen thousand. thousand children. in the united states with adults it's thirty two thousand people are killed with a gun everything believe in the united states mazing or miles incredible and all preventable what kind of 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 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

with metal pins if the child could even be saved at that point in time work with this on the beach in place 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 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 this is. 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 like to fly barbie dolls they make them with swirls and then they call them cute little names like crickets and 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 younger children.

when i was six i want quantity so. but i missed it here. because of the fear of the. 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 show you trust me we're just going to trust you. this cable to go to. the free possession of the is enshrined in the u.s. constitution and is inseparable from countryside life here.

looking for mr sherwood davis. or would davis nice to meet you yes or no need to go to from the netherlands from where the netherlands the netherlands yes. you have lots of guns we do have lots of things 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 and 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. 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 most definitely yes i'll it looks like a toy gun you know it's there and in the plastic this is well that is just the

furniture meaning those are just the excess arrays that you put on a plain black gun like it to make it to doll it up like that and how much like how much is a gun like that the dressed up like that one is i have a look at the price tag it is probably about four hundred dollars with a scope there's another paint gun this for the ladies but we carry a huge stock a hand guns everything from target guns to little bitty ankle guns self-defense guns target guns you know we don't have this and then once it's like we don't have weapons store so for us it's 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. what do. 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 why do you even have them in colors like a korean of course paying for the young girls cam all for of 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.

so jamie you can begin to grow any yeah yeah hope don't hunger good to see that. i doing don't do it now. 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 it's enough 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. gun can these or muzzle loaders and this one twenty two and two shot.

here this shot. what do you give a nation also here. it's like turkey ok shells. we have good looks better because i'm too afraid no guns in your house does that five you know peace in my face was 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're the key that they they know words that today you know when i were small or know that he 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 that gun cabinet this is if it is easy to you know it's ok. to work to gain

a ground real this was just. off to dinner the children go outside to practice that savors held me in the back yard. maybe yours you don't know if you don't per car or you're no response to really. knows everyone in my life that i cared about their goal much and then that i came to skin well. i was sad national champion in track and field and also i was able to go and qualify for the olympic games. you know nine hundred eighty eight i started to experiment with that the drugs i had lost all the financial means that i. was really on the street.

her. black mark brown can go to a great chick drink. at big journey to such a. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand nine hundred ton two cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killings. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. a limp a torch relay. on r t r g dot com. some

may disagree. but i believe america is exceptional. yes precarious. yes we can. handle suffering. and so they may. see them up there in a. pickup just. wealthy british style it's time to cut ties. with the. markets why not scandals. find out what's really happening to the global economy in these kinds of reports.

choose your language. holy week over the influential still some. choose to use the consensus here to. choose the opinions that immigrate to. choose the stories that impact your life choose the access to off to. you guys to young to own a gun now. why not. they're not we're not all parental you know it's not right they'll take care. i'm not afraid of

something happens with a gun accident or something. well they miss you have it's not right i think you honestly do need the positive thought they were now because you know only what is 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 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 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. is eight thousand the shooting ground is larger than eleven thousand troops will pick choose. 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 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 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 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 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 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. yet to hit anything yet it did for time i can understand why children find

a use who would give a thrill a bit of adrenaline yes i can understand that yeah is it the weiss they 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 take 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 about guns yeah i mean did you have to try. but i thought you know if she even led that she'd be brain damaged to make the 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 are bad symbol. 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. it's a new it is obviously by by. the. well it's still in the head it's too difficult to remove it. but other than that she leads the life of any seven year old. charlie chili and. one of the chances that it will survive something like that well one in a million and the doctors say that the baby never seen nothing like this before saturday's called the miracle baby. tools sat. down with a child a high school and writes i doubt. any hit you.

what it was if you hit you with it well that's a seeing a little bit of your head yes. i would have got to say you were lucky a little bit. and the only cost. to wear gold bill. because of the accident bizarre his parents lost their rights to parental care how grandmother now has full custody. together they visit the hospital where as ari it was treated. is look crazy it's. own luck it's a home one. can't believe his looks to. my shield up really nice you can't even hardly tell it was there looks just like

a little scrape now. they're getting squire good sense for him every day to keep the sky 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. the figures are truly shocking more than fifteen thousand children each year abroad to hospitals across america with gunshot wounds and eight children die every day

because of the consequences. mr hill it's a cruel routine again 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. brother and mother regularly visit the gas station nearby which also serves as a convenience store in your absence has been on. just about an average of a wash lost weight. ever since then like her mom there's a bear her second grandmother who was a second grandmother so you must be heard when you heard the news yes heard about

it that. i've heard about it. and so this small village is now a symbol for the gun debate throughout the united states president obama once tried to 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 it here they were doing. so even after the tragedy when i was with the directly about you still believe it or you know 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 go if supervision your own grandchildren you would give the great man a picture with their with me one day i hope that still 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 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 chatrooms aren't you afraid of happens to you why not because what it would be made to shoot so. and someone else who is trying to or just. 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 always mr daughter and. 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 into play 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 and friend above this inference right here is a gunshot wound close to the head in the temple area unfortunately this is one of the children but did make it we were unable to revive this child this is the gun debate through the children and see through the eyes of children this is the through the eyes of parents parks if we can do it for our children for our future what is the country is safer.

playing. live. live. live. live. live

please little. i live. 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 us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the marker sea it's

a step forward for the oligarchy carex it is toxic as it looked like spraying in vietnam it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there i don't want dispersants to be the age you are which. is. because at one time i saved money to hire a hitman to shoot me dead from the next building or through the open window. i searched through the internet typing things like i'm looking for you i'm waiting for you before i wrote i'm waiting for you i'm looking for you i didn't care at all what this man would be like deprived disabled ale i'll catch up with you know you want the battery is run out. i love everything about him i have come to

love every here everyone just thing that tips him actually be healthy years and other guys drink beer in a bench 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. right to see. first street. and i think you're. on a reporter's. instrument. to be in the know. on.
