more and more is this really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to own guns to protect their families so someone sent me this website which shows some of this marketing some of these propaganda type ads about this and the actual ad around midnight she called nine one one by twelve o six the fighting was done no time to wait for help to arrive so she used her rifle to stay alive obviously what they're telling you here is that as a woman you can't rely law enforcement to help you if an intruder comes to your house you have to have a gun available and ready to defend yourself and that is really playing on people's fear it's insinuating that you are not safe in your home. here's another one which i just thought was so interesting because the imagery is so evocative you know this image that here's the guy is coming after you he doesn't have a gun he only has some sort of stick it says shoot or call nine one one she has this

gun she's not only has it loaded and ready to be nice and bright in this picture so obviously the idea is she would have any trouble shooting him with her giant gun. here's one that says once mature enough to be home alone and she's ready to have a gun of her own. to me this looks like a pretty young child the message is clear parents should be buying a gun for their young child so that they can defend themselves and again we know we read articles about the number of accidental injuries you see when guns get into the hands of children how sort of ridiculous is it to think that a child is going to get this loaded weapon is going to use it be effective with it and and what do you do what are you saying about the experience of the child in both instances. playing on the fear of being at times blaming mothers these posters or prove. creating the. a seemingly plausible scenarios

a play on a specific idea of another person invading one's home a widespread fear in the minds of many americans. however according to another group specializing in the prevention of violence associated with firearms a gun in the house is twenty two times more likely to kill a family member then play a part in self-defense. many studies published in two thousand and eleven indicate that twenty thousand of the thirty thousand deaths caused by firearms each year for suicides or accidents ten thousand were murders. pro-gun citizens believe that being armed deters criminals who might threaten them . but in what situation is one deemed to be in serious danger. this teenager to whom barack obama pays homage to is trayvon martin. on the twenty sixth of february two thousand and twelve this seventeen year old

black american was shot in the middle of a street. trayvon was going to buy sweets and was supposed to meet up with his father to go to a basketball game the killer was george zimmerman he was voluntarily patrolling the neighborhood in his car as there had been a series of steps in recent months. in his defense zimmerman told police that he had doubts about the intentions of the teenager he therefore evoked the stand your ground law to justify his actions. at first the murder a skate without any charges but after a public art ridge amongst the american population the jury changed its verdict. trayvon martin's parents have agreed to meet us according to them george zimmerman had no reason to feel threatened. that the real decision came when he got out of his vehicle because that's when he stopped being a neighborhood car and what a neighborhood. white would have remained in his vehicle and would have just taken

the information down and given it to the police every night that's a neighborhood crime watch but once he got out of his vehicle then he became a police officer a security guard or something of this where he was no longer a neighborhood watch that pursued a key this was a key this was a teenager that was talking on the phone there was not do anything wrong they have not committed any crime. florida passed the stand your ground law in two thousand and five and since then the number of justifiable deaths as triple to around thirty five a year and three hundred twenty across the nation in two thousand and ten. freedom to bear arms comes at a price and america is frequently paying for it with even more drama in mass shootings in these events there is no case for self-defense only madness. going back to the twentieth of april one thousand nine hundred nine in

a big gun show like the one in thomasville because i'm by murderers were able to buy the weapons they used to kill their classmates. twelve were killed and twenty five seriously injured the perpetrators were two fourteen year old teenagers eric harris and dylan clear. at the time the actions of the two students were attributed to violence in films and video games. in the political debates that ensued nobody questioned the ease with which these youngsters were able to purchase a shotgun and rifle. tom mauser lost his son in the columbine massacre dinah was fifteen a model student i'm very involved in school life despite his shyness. my son daniel was in the library at columbine and the two killers were trying to get away from the police who were outside they came in. to the library. they asked

everybody to stand up but they didn't the the students stayed under tables and then they began to walk around the library. and shout insults at the students and selected certain ones to be shot. and my son was one of them he was first insulted by one of the killers shot in the hand he pushed his chair up against against the killer i think he was resisting and for that he p. paid with his life with a second shot to his head that killed him since the tragedy daniel's mother has been devastated and refuses all requests for interviews but for tom his son's death has become something to fight for the advocates that gun show should have controls in place to check buyers he wants the laws changed. to me it made absolutely no sense to allow a teenager or a criminal to walk into

a gun show like the teenagers who are columbine killers did not have to go through a background check. so we took the issue to our state legislature asked them to close that loophole so that everybody everybody who goes to a gun show and tries to buy a gun has to pass a background check they refused to close that loophole so we took it to a vote of the people we petition to put it on the ballot in colorado and the people of colorado close that gun show loophole by a vote of seventy percent to thirty percent. interest that he hasn't served as a valid example. of the five thousand gun shows taking place each year only a small amount know how fire controls in place. i think the so many americans think that they need to arm themselves because they're very fearful and their first reaction is well if i'm in danger than i should be are myself. and what i say to people is if being armed

made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on earth because we are the most heavily armed free world nation and we're clearly not the safest clearly not the safest.

it sucks but. i would like to know that 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 albus. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across cynical we've been hijacked like handful of transnational

corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one school class i'm 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 try rational debate in a real discussion critical issues facing up to find a job ready to join the movement then welcome in the big picture. i marinate join me. for in-depth impartial and financial reporting commentary contribute and much much. only on bombast and only on.

the. server error deal was better than location a voice still remember. how to do that well as of the low high tension said you would stop this storm we might think you know my people will die. mug right on the street. first street. and i bring pictures. on our reporter's twitter. and instagram.

me in the. choose your language killing spree killer though if there is still some other. treatments that the consensus can. chew through opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories could impact the life choose me access to your office.

since the one nine hundred seventy s. the frequency of murders in the streets or public places has only increased each year there are twenty. one recent tragedy was in the. summer of two thousand and twelve. twenty four year old man burst into the movie theater during a screening of the latest. random killing twelve of the audience. the murderer was james holmes. best gas mask and was armed with an assault rifle. we visited the site of the tragedy twenty days later to meet a survivor of the shooting. a nineteen year old student was in the cinema that day . she managed to flee the cinema before.

she threw the can over over our heads and my best my other best friend had screamed get down and she got down on the floor and i was like no it's ok and i was looking at the shooter and he was holding the gun. tilted up and he started firing really rhythmically shots bang bang bang bang probably six or seven called along the floor i got up and i kept my head down and i looked to my left. and i saw down the aisle that the shooter was shooting up into the. section. so i just ran straight out and i remember thinking i really hope there aren't any more shooters because i don't know what i'll do i don't know i don't know if this is really happening this has to be a. shooting. in the u.s. . in particular in public areas like. or moles where weapons are prohibited.

at the aurora movie theaters the police station was only a mile away and amazingly they actually got there very quickly compared to other response times and yet still twelve people died because there was no one there i mean there was even retired military and police officers there in the auditorium who had been disarmed because of the regulations and they could not protect themselves or anybody else that's wrong as explained by erik kratz if the victims all wrong like emma have the right to bear arms in the cinema there might have been fewer victims mass shootings such as a columbine have traumatized america a worrying trend can be seen after each episode a sharp rise in gun sales some citizens seek protection others fear tougher laws coming into actions so they run to stoke up these men and women are convinced there

is only one solution an opinion not shared by george has the all us my brother shot himself and that. he had weapons he didn't need weapons he needed a doctor that it. should have never had any way. that he did and i only thank god that he didn't hurt anybody else because he could have that's how angry and how much he was the problem is not. the problem or guns we put guns in prison. we need to refine ourselves we need to find. a new system of values why is it that people who are detected. not taken care of until they tell they do something that absolutely. outrageous and insane there's not going to be any country to control tomorrow so we have to you know we have to find another solution . one hundred kilometers from thomasville in south florida we need to reason adams

a mother who we met at a gun show. she is invited us to come and see her gun collection weapons to protect themselves from intruders but not just for about her family is convinced that the world will end on the twenty first december two thousand and twelve. they are part of an apocalyptic movement which has a strong presence in the united states of america i welcome. we didn't necessarily build it so much for the protector fat terror but it's indestructible. in the front wall of solid concrete block filled with porn full of concrete it's if there were to be a need for defense the house is designed for that. in fact to reason her husband live in a bunker with her two sons who are twelve and fourteen years old.

you know a lot of it ever happened but if you were ever in a situation or god forbid anything happen to want to go home and they lost control if the economy goes south. then you go to believe that stability have been able to buy food to go i don't necessarily see it all rustling ever happening in the country but it's one of those things if you're prepared for to really go down. if the worst thing you're prepared for a natural catastrophe. in preparation for the worst the family has taken every precaution starting with guns to protect themselves from atomic they're found in every room even the children. these are just an intake of frames. this is take of three men here they have water guns they're plastic toy guns but they've always been taught the difference in

a toy gun in the world and this is a real gun this is his ten twenty two that he shoots we purchased yesterday a tactical package to put on it it had just a regular wooden stock and so he saw this and want to do it it was a present. here this is just. and he also has his toys but then he has his shotgun and his rifle that he uses for hunting and will have any problems with the boys have and their guns in their room there or. they're loaded but not in the actual chamber invasion world war three natural disasters have thought of everything. is our utility room and pantry and it's just keeps we keep food stores as we talked about earlier in case for some reason we had to stay here for an extended period of time we try to keep a stock of food. primarily about three to four weeks park so the day of family

thing were to happen we wouldn't have to leave. but the family treasure is phone to miss room where a dozen weapons are kept in a cabinet. even an assault rifle twenty this. and this is a. i r fifteen x. and k. package but at some assault rifle. in the kitchen on the table where they eat every evening to reason their husbands are proud to show off the majority of their collection. this afternoon the family has another surprise for us a shooting session on the grounds behind the house. we want to come out at least once or twice a week. the weather really hot as ice will probably going to spend

a lot of time here in the fall and it will be. degrees here and. we are usually come out together are occasionally some of us will come out together for fun but most a time we do it as a family feel with them a safe haven do it together. in a sense not really not lose hope or dubai or sale. here as a family they shoot soda cans. guests invited to the house aren't offered coffee but instead shooting practice. and it's hard to refuse for fear of causing offense . thing i was. just in and jacob have been shooting their parents' guns since they were four years

old they are the pride and joy of their mother theresa. how do you feel when you watch your kids shoot as a mom i'm excited and proud to watch him she now and that. they know how to do it that they enjoy doing it that we're spending our time together as a family i love it. you know. how do you feel when you shoot. over that kind of force. i mean it's kind of it's kind of i mean it's. the only thing where you're. what about you jake what do you feel when you're shooting. a man with his bundle my

. kid in. entertaining. ok oh. ok. so you know you know. that's a violent sport i mean it's something that you feel in your whole body and how can you get pleasure from that. it's. the excitement of it is kind of by having that power and energy is just the strength behind it. it's hard to explain the fail on behind it it's just fun. for these women and

families that we've met the individuals interests prevailed over the society. a few weeks before the presidential elections a survivor of the aurora shooting released a video which went viral on the internet i was shocked and the next four years forty eight thousand americans won't be so lucky because they'll be murdered with guns in the next president's term enough to fill over two hundred theaters so when you watch the presidential debates ask yourself who has a plan the stock on the times let's demand a plan b.

and. during the presidential campaign neither of the two candidates touched on the subject of guns and barack obama the elected president of the united states of america has no intention to revise the second amendment that america and its citizens hold so dear the most recent attempt by the obama administration to revise gun laws failed to pass a us congressional approval on able eighteenth two thousand and thirteen since then no new initiatives have been presented to the public. you know the united states has as many think tanks as the next ten countries combined yes one thousand eight hundred twenty eight takes to tell three hundred

million people and i think. to see any sort of counter revolution aimed at preserving maybe even a charcoal gender roles the islamic religion is one very powerful force so wards maintaining traditional marriages and values just as they become more western liberalism becomes powerful and we have to sort of make. civilizations on a collision course. but

they are the militants the location of the sumo is still river. to the dwellers of the wall height ten thousand said you would stop this storm we might be more my people. this is see you when you're in the arctic you have feet in total world at your feet she looks like a fairly simple. people. the real king here is the polar bear and ice breakers come second. petition to the arctic can be conducted with the russian nuclear powered fleet of ice breakers.
