their goal how fun with other like minded women at the weekend they don't come unprepared clothes hats jewelry and leopard prints everywhere you look. here's my gun. a rifle today this is key to enjoying the weekend and buy both gold one i got i got and kept in fancy protective covers twenty two gauge shotgun and in their designer handbags other pistols. have been a zero nasty thing yes. denise is a fifty three year old housewife she is a regular amongst the davis today she has volunteered to welcome the new participants. well our organization is the largest women's only out there are going to zation the world and so what we do is we think if we can introduce women to the outdoors they will bring their children so that's why we come in here in the n.f.l. they really had a great time we were shooting and they can take it home and then introduce their

children to the pick up the sport because we just don't want to run our country we've lost two generations of shooting and we have picked up the banner so that didn't happen again for. hunting or target shooting is a cement a tradition in american folklore back in the times of the old wild west when the country was still a vast and hostile wilderness the settlers armed themselves with shotguns as they discovered the promised land little by little they are in their freedom in their own way these women are doing the same here today. i'm a gun owner i've got several shotguns rifles pistols on this trip i brought its twenty gauge and a twenty eight. being a member of this group for seven years and i enjoy the camaraderie i enjoy shooting and to get away from my husband i've been a stay at home mom for twenty some odd years. after my daughters left i had to find

something that i enjoyed for myself and that's what brought to me. in the space of a weekend these are transformed into real hunters freed from family obligations they intend to pass on their knowledge and whole days to their children. a four year old daughter she's got a little pink baby and we go out to shoot little. rocks at the bar. and she loves it. she was born. the day she was born she became a david david there. are these guns normally reserved for shooting birds or clay discs able to be used in other circumstances. susan is forty nine and a fashion designer. i've never been put in a situation where i had to make

a choice to shoot a human or not so i can't answer yes or no but i can say i believe that i would protect i think that my instincts would take over and if i had something that i could protect myself or my children or with i think that i would i think we go back to our instincts to protect defending oneself is a contentious topic. as for these women learning how to shoot and gaining self confidence is not just a game for a fifty year old banker it's also a question of survival home. ok frank you tell me about that i was in a parking lot i was with a girlfriend and locked the car to let her out to her car and a gun was held right to my head with two guys and a guy came around the other side knocked her back in the car. and they asked for all our jewelry and i told him he went get him. and he hit me in the face invested

my nose and sort of not me. cuckoo and they stole all their jewelry so after them. i decided i would never be helpless again i would never be fishing and i would be afraid and not be able to defend myself. on. you finish off the day judy hosts a meeting with the divas by the pool she has planned to get up steam special weapons for clothes and accessories. being at the forefront of fashion whilst armed to the teeth but still staying feminine under all circumstances. it's another way to get women passionate about firearms. it's a very sexy day be able to wear your gun on your person and with the new styles

that you can conceal your gun and your clothes is just makes it even easier to take it wherever you need to go and casey would your man showing that it's when you don't think that you have a gun on you. and attaches to your for all. you have the middle of your bra so the concept was it that you flash them and then you can get your gun out very quickly so that's where the concept of flash bang came from clothes how bipolar browse for hiding guns you'd almost think we were in a spy film however in the united states of america these products for women are profit. business on the internet this mother to be has developed a gun holster that she is marketing and writing her memoirs a paper it's printed precincts now we're going to be a sequel you know where you got into the way they are here and it's like really high up. there.

in this other video a woman shows us a wide range of cases for carrying weapons discreetly. and the powerful lobby groups who defend the right of each citizen to bear arms understand about to attract women to their cause they have to change their style on their sites are swimsuits t. shirts and even baby clothes all marked with their logo buying these products is adhering to the ideology. it's a winning strategy as observed by laura browder university professor and expert when it comes to female gun carriers. you know women's involvement with guns really started up again in the one nine hundred eighty s. when the gun industry realized that handgun sales for flat and that hunters were dying off and not being replaced and so they began marketing once again to women and women's guns that busines started to be published and the media got interested

because it was such a great story and as gun magazines aimed at women began to be published and ads aimed at women began to be published. books also came out here's one by. paxton quickly who is the cover girl actually on this magazine and this book was called armed and female it sold zillions of copies and was a media sensation because paxton quickly suggested that if women wanted to avoid rape they really needed to buy guns and learn how to use them because. the police weren't going to be there to protect them husbands weren't going to protect them in fact husbands might be the ones trying to rape them and they needed to protect themselves. reinforcing ideas in women's magazines spreading the idea that a strong woman is an armed woman and the results speak for themselves since nine hundred ninety gun sales amongst women have risen by twenty percent. now pistols

revolvers and rifles form an integral part of the american shopping basket. it is really important for the gun industry that every member of the family i want to gun. and that guns are seen as something that promotes family values you know not something that's associated with violence and crime. so the n.r.a. so magazine woman's outlook has a cover that says thanks mom and here's the mom with her kids and everyone in the family has a gun. this is one of my absolute favorite covers of women and guns magazine it's the suburban mom with the shopping cart and the toddler in the cart we've all seen the image a thousand times but she's at the gun store and she's shopping for ammo. and of course guns make the great holiday present here is the christmas tree and the little girl with what's probably her first gun. and already.

a day. pratt is adamant guns save more lives than they killed. and nothing seems to be able to loosen the grip of the powerful lobbies and the arms manufacturers. in two thousand and five a new law was passed in florida with the n.r.a. so influential support stand your ground. it allows anyone under threats to use their far arm and even kill if they are deemed to be in real danger at home or in public. this law legitimizing self-defense has been passed in twenty five states with some variations under different guises such as shoot first . being attacked at home and having the ability to defend yourself in a life threatening situation is not unlikely last january a news story captured america's attention and served to strengthen the lobby stances oklahoma is one of the twenty five states the permits self-defense through

the use of firearms. american. drone i'm sure. ok. around here you mean on the night of the thirty first of december two thousand and eleven sarah mckinley a young eighteen year old woman calls the police someone is trying to break into our house he is armed the young woman locks herself in the bathroom with her three month old baby and a rifle. with my hand. right over there to protect your. in such an emergency the police tell us that she can shoot the intruder under the stand your ground law. for those who support the bearing of arms in the us the story of sarah mckinley is an example to all. each year two hundred thirty thousand women on average are soldiers in the street or home. they are also sometimes victims of domestic violence twelve hundred women

were killed by their husbands and twenty ten. some might say that having the right to defend oneself with a gun is simply a question of survival. the u.s. is the country with the most armed civilians ahead of mexico and brazil buying a gun here is simply a formality more and more it's women who feel the need to arm themselves amanda lives in south dakota today she is on her way to a gun store in the u.s. there are eighty thousand of them almost as many as the number of pharmacies amanda is the secretary she is twenty eight with two kids and the average american with no wild stories two years ago this young mother bought her first realizing a lifelong dream. i have been saving up for a long time and i have sacrificed something to be able to have the money to get the gun that i want. the things that i've given up is probably away. you

know like stuff that i would normally buy for myself probably like her. and i mean really big in texas or reason things but i don't spend that much on nose things because buying guns and ammo and all that for recreation it's quite a bit of money hello. i'm looking for like a colt forty five kind of gun or a thirty thirty with a lever action. a store. there may be literally. she now owns three guns and today she is going to buy a fourth yeah i think this is the one that i want to go with ok i think i'm going to go with this one this is within my budget pledge is it it's five hundred fifty nine dollars. the young woman chooses the heim gun a stove. it's a service for. the formalities involve a background check. once completed by the client the vendor sends the details by

fax to offices in washington who will oversee the declaration by the client. anyone with a criminal record or being treated for serious mental health issues is forbidden from purchasing. to present himself. i work hard so i think i deserve it. verification takes five minutes. i think you get me. in a quarter of an hour amanda has bought a gun and can take it home. in this store there are hundreds of different guns for every different taste. the objective of the arms industry is to seduce men and women. we have a good female clientele here let me show you some of the guns that they're interested in and that's been popular with women is obviously more for the latest

because it's pink you love it and can't wait to have it to ensure that their children are safe women are willing to take any measure taking this in. consideration companies have developed weapons for children smaller than those for adults but just as deadly let's have a look at some guns for kids. these small twenty two rifles are popular for parents to buy their children some of them as young as four or five years old. obviously scaled down base and small for a child. or. young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink one whether the young lady likes pink or not because this way her brother won't take it. there are weapons for the entire family. gun culture is not a term without meaning in the us especially in rural areas. we're headed to texas a pro-gun stronghold the streets of the small town of kerrville hearken back to the

wild west men and women are all carrying guns on their person as if it was natural . but i think if people think it's good for them that they. were proud daughter and hero and thoughts i. keep thinking for yourself. like you think you don't think jeffrey. let me. play for the last excuse not. have you ever head back to see someone protect yourself in the street yet. not yet. they say shoot them. so our ride of freedom of the united states has been. carrying a gun is commonplace in some states like texas. but given the overbearing presence

of the arms trade throughout the area how could it be otherwise. of the two hundred eighty million guns in in circulation. the us a search warrant fought in a gun store. heading to thomasville in the state of georgia we've gone to a gun show a real arms fair. how are you going to fight each year five thousand gun shows enter towns for three days in a carnival spirit. entry is free provided you carefully holster away your weapons to avoid any accidents. you are about as safe as i stood in front of a spread on tables are pistol shotguns even assault rifles that can be bought as easily as firing a vacuum cleaner. in the aisles many women of color alone with friends or family with husbands or even children in. the stands or all complied by recognized

vendors and individuals. such only see like that it just comes on. a gun shows anyone can come and sell their own weapons that are on display and with no verification there was no famous background check. it's estimated that twelve thousand guns will be sold in these three days. george because the old us is a professor of journalism. he lived in france for thirty five years and has been interested in the issues surrounding gun culture in the u.s. for a long time. we showed him some extracts from our film. the strong getting towards these people and once again it's the fear factor. definitely a target of the gun lobby. the reason women have money and weapons is

a combination of the gun lobby. and. back. valiant politicians who are trying to stall fear in people to get close. to trying to get votes because they have an agenda that agenda is actually. fever big. i marinate join me on her team get impartial and financial reporting commentary interview and much much. only on the bus and on.

all this conspiracy theorizing that somehow the state department's going to ring washington kiev and then decide that it's going to have to be constitutional reform so that the government is allowed to by the parliamentary majority to hello to color is a job i need to hear about your concept if you will finally hear anything about constitutional reform in that telephone conversation did you alexander i didn't hear that no it's not in that conversation oh yes it is set up in place there are three things that have to be done there are reforms are key to this well mr cruz you know made an accusation that i was a supporter of the serbian socialists and the radicals are trying to laughable but i do wish to point out that those very same socialists in the radicals that were

demonized in two thousand and use this as the bogeyman to unite the opposition are currently in power and they're. executing the orders from washington and brussels more faithfully than anybody could have ever hoped for this is the consequence of fifteen years of american democracy. 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 how to think. but they are dealing with the location of boys still remember. how to do
