you know i'm not an expert at swiss culture so maybe people there are different but if they gave out thousands of free dollars per month anywhere i've lived you would see the majority of people going into early retirement and not working at all and sort of like how they tell people not to feed the bears at parks because then the bears lose their instincts and will to hunt because getting a sandwich thrown at them is a lot easier i mean why go through the effort of auditing when the sandwich just magically appears handouts often creates law according to reuters some people are proposing a much better law for switzerland limiting executive pay to being twelve times higher than that of the lowest paid employee although this plan is making headlines it seems like a much better idea because it doesn't to motivate people to be productive and yet it would create almost utopia like levels of wealthy quality also if the bosses salary is tied to the employees that a lot of people be getting raises very soon this one to twelve p. ratio is much better than the free swiss francs and it gets my seal of approval but that's just my opinion.
5:30 am
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 reigned 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
5:31 am
it is not unusual for you to own your first gun in kinda got. how many people own guns in this village more probably do than go outside. of these things are you are saying that in the absence of opinion of your own go not everybody in the county is quote a way of life here where everybody wants around here and they much else to fish i would say you know a very hard majority of country people own guns my grandson started her when he was probably three or four years out so he just and i got one and hans he wanted fishies. so when you go to kindergarten you get your first gun 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
5:32 am
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 a real gun with real bullets the manufacturer has openly advertised for children as . rifle. i'm. sure many a cricket rifle i wish i had running 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
5:33 am
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 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 though i 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. from the help of the brain swelling on. them so she looked perfect i held her hand and. talked to her but didn't hear me. the grandmother of another child zaria go back. both families live in the same area
5:34 am
. 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 headed when she passed away. there's the emergency room and trap and then of course all the adult. i'm down this way and they will stop right at the door so close to our trauma room. is
5:35 am
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. home and it should only here coming to us hospitals that shelters every single year in the united states fifteen thousand children come into hospital with the young daughters. 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 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
5:36 am
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 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 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 light just like barbie dolls they make the most swirls and then they call them. cute little names like cricket fan chipmunks just as though if you owned
5:37 am
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 children. when all six i went hunting for them so. i'm just here so. this 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 oh look at. this give it a go to. the free possession of the is in trying to in the us constitution and is inseparable
5:38 am
from countryside life here. looking for ways to share with davis money or whatever nice to meet you yes or no need 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 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
5:39 am
might on that one right there or something there that plastic is like a real old most definitely yes i'll look like a slogan you know it's there in the blast of the summer 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 it's like how much is a gun like that. dressed up like that one is i have a look at the price tag it's probably about four hundred dollars with a scope there's another paint gun mess for the ladies but we carry a huge stock a hand guns everything from target gun is to little bitty angle gone 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 hang guns to semiautomatic and of kools guns made especially for children. with the.
5:40 am
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 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 the . 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
5:41 am
skateboards are you going to outlaw skateboards are you going to confiscate pogo sticks everything require supervision. so jamie you can begin to grow already yeah yeah i hope i don't hunger who to see that i doing i don't do it yeah our boys the other you know what. good's 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
5:42 am
gums. we also keep the gun in the house and yes going to see the. neighborhood gun these are all over here and this one twenty. two shot. this day right here this shot. what do you give a nation also here well there's no no there that's like turkey ok sure. we have good looks better because i do a phrase you know like guns in your house but the five year now of peace in my place of sight yeah which is a safe why is that what we're here. and i'm here to. 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 term over time you know when they 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
5:43 am
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 stays easy good to know it's ok and you are working thinking the ground realists want us to. off to dinner the children go outside to practice that savors held me in the back yard. of. course outside to an active camp at guantanamo where patients are forced that the aftermath of our strike never turned the world's attention to the place that something up jobs gulag of our times. it's a quick fix for
5:44 am
a long and increasingly intoxicating addiction the us may have avoided at school but it keeps dragging the world into an ever deeper death toll is it still possible to break this vicious cycle. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to structure. one hundred and twenty three days. through two thousand nine hundred ton two cities of russia. relayed by georgians those who people for sixty five thousand kilometers. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. a limp dick torch relay. on our team archie dot com. that.
5:45 am
you guys to young to own a gun. why not. they're not we're not all pro do you know it's often they'll take her over. 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 side 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 teach islam 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
5:46 am
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 the shooting ground is larger than eleven thousand troops will 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. range despite the
5:47 am
tragic incidents in the neighborhood he still see 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 yeah it's a day out. and 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 a loaded until we can prove otherwise when you're handling
5:48 am
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. ok to hit anything that it did for time i could understand why children find these who would give a thrill a bit of adrenaline yes i can understand that yeah is it weis 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 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
5:49 am
a sixteen year old child in a vehicle with no training on an interstate says this is how you feel with guns yeah i mean did you have to try. but i thought you know if she even led she would be brain damaged and maybe skip 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 or batch 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. 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 a new seven year old. charlie charlie and. what are the chances that it will
5:50 am
survive something like that well one of the million and the doctors say that the baby never seen nothing like this before saturday's color the miracle baby. schools sat. down with a child a high school and writes the reality. and he hit you. what it was if you hit you with a good it's bad a serious. look at the right look. at what it got to say you were lucky a little bit. and learn the cost. to where it will bill. because of the accident bizarre his parents lost their rights to parental. grandmother now has full custody. together they visit the hospital where as ari it
5:51 am
was treated. on. the look crazy its. own luck as a whole while i. 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 every day to keep scott 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 seeing or not 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
5:52 am
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 hospitals across america with gunshot wounds and eight children die every day because of the consequences. in 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 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
5:53 am
regularly visit the gas station nearby which also serves as a convenience store or a business you know he's been on. our just on average of almost lost weight you know ever since men like her mom said there's a bear 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 you know that you have the children yeah yeah meets on the protect you say so so you say this gun for five six seven year olds is safe going to even though it supervision your own
5:54 am
grandchildren you would give the guy merely a picture with their 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 oh rather than spending saturdays playing football they go to the shooting range. why do you like shooting so much. shooting helps the roof to us. 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 it
5:55 am
be shown to us 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 that's just the way 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 their neighbor tall the difference between i play again and 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 in the back again was just a ploy again. if you look at this in front above this in france right here is
5:56 am
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 and since we come to pay through the eyes of children this is the come through eyes of parents parks if we can do it for our children for our future what is the country to save or. may disagree. but i believe america is exceptional. we can't.
5:57 am
let. them. let's. look. 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.
5:58 am
and their oil this is a huge step backwards for the mocker sea it's a step forward oligarchy carex it is toxic is a look a lot like spray in vietnam 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 won't know the battery is run out. i love everything about him i've grown
5:59 am
to love every here every one of these things are 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. we're not psyched to active camps out a long time ago where patients are forced to just comes out through mouth on the first strike never turn the world's attention to the place that something gulag of our times. was.
6:00 am
because i was. drinking. the last few weeks have inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our cause. the u.s. government shutdown ends as america escapes default by way sky above the debt ceiling raise some worry that cutouts are for you has only been delayed. he. says any silly take on the police is bronson's hit the streets to battle back anger at the government's new austerity the budget. also this way you can you can i love a huge spike in radiation levels at fukushima as readings in a storage tank will rise by thousands of times in just a day. i'm told.
