i'd say ninety percent of the bring him here on go. is quote a way of life here yeah everybody around here at. home i would say you know very hard majority of the country people own guns and my grandson started when he was probably three or four years old. and i got one in one of fishies. 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. and five year old christina 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 as . rifle. i'm. sure many

a cricket rifle irish. cricket is the perfect way to get young or small framed shooters started right to safety promoting design. 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 spock's was rushed to hospital but 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 not my heart just sank 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 just 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. 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 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 moment 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. down this way and they will stop right at the door so close our tolerance to resells 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 here are 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 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 a balls 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 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 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 them. cute little names like cricket fans chipmunks just as though if you owned a gun you would belong to a disney club. this is the wood family for them shooting is an activity for the whole family including the young the children. well six i went hunting for them so. i don't just mean here he said.

there's a very very shallow. you know dis 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 ok. let's give it a go to. the free possession of the is enshrined in the us constitution and is inseparable from countryside life here. looking for ways to share with davis money for whatever nice to meet you yes or no needs 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 work when 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 good old most definitely yesterday. it looks like a slogan you know it's there in the glass that this america 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 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 mess for the ladies but we carry a huge stock a hand guns everything from target guns to little bitty ankle gun 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. 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 here's a very good example i want to even have them in colors like a korean of course pink for the young girls camel for the 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're going to go already yeah yeah hope don't hunger good to see that. i do it 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 milk twenty four hours a day the woods are hard work it's enough good food especially meat. and there's something else they love too i doing you know you get i hear you sitting goats. we also keep the governor house yes but i see the pushchair memo come came in these are a little over here and this one's a twenty two and two shot. stay right here this shot. what he did you have a nation also here well that's no no no that's like

a turkey ok. we can do. better because i do a phrase you know i got to say your house was a five you know he's in my facebook site 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 when 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 small or 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 you know gaining ground relist squash. off to dinner the children go outside to practice that savors hubby in the backyard

. come. to. play. the fish leave with the economic ups and downs in the final months day the longer the deal sang and the rest of the life during the making will be everything on all tastes the league. told him a language of what i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so i'm not the person in the know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of the month to say gates is secure yet a car is on the docket no god. no job no more weasel words

when you have a direct question simply prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a. pretty speech and little down the freedom to cross. dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others refuse to notice. the faces the world rights know. so picture of today's leaves mas' don demands from around the globe. local. t.v. . at the pledge play it was terrible to say

now i'm very sorry to take out a letter again a little longer a plug that never had sex with the earthquake there are no plans let's call it was. just so. let's listen to the i'm let's. listen to. the. what is your comment like. you know.

pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm wrong researcher. you're.

right you guys are young to own a gun. why not because. we're not all prone to you know it's not right. i not afraid of something happens with a gun the excellence of something. well the aim is you have it's not right i think you honestly do need the positive side ever now because you know what is supposed to fly the process out is they 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 response ability. 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 that a policy statement stating that the only safe home in the united states is a home without a gun and i stand behind not only. just around the corner from my caroline sparks was 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 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 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 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. 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 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. this is how you feel with guns that it

you have to train. but i thought you know if she even led that she would be brain damaged to make a skit even stick is 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 bats 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. the blue. 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. what it chances are that it will survive something like that well one of the million and the doctors say that the baby never seen nothing like this before

so they called the miracle baby. schools sat. down with a child a high school and writes the reality. and they hit you. what it was if you hit you with a cold it's bad a sling a little got to your head yes. i would have got to say you were lucky a little bit. and coughed. closer to where goldhill. 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 was treated. on. the look crazy

its. own luck as a whole one. can't believe his looks. i filled up really nice you can't even hardly tell that was their 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 seeing are not all she's fabulous. absolutely fabulous and this is the recovery that you always hope for a small miracle a small miracle definitely something that your human still 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. and 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 successfully 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 in your absence you know he's been on. our list on average of

almost lost weight you know ever since men like her mom said there's a bear second grandmother here with a second grandmother so you must be heard when you heard the news yes i'm really hard 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 once tried to gun control but is met with 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 meet some the protect 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 maybe 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 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 shots aren't you afraid it happens to you why not because what it would be made to shoot so. 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 always mr daughter and i'm very blessed that we have you with us. at 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 infant above the infants right here is 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

. of children and since the gun debate through the eyes of children this is the true lies of carolyn sparks if we can't do it for our children for our future what is the country the safer. winter is when the sahara comes to life. oasis palm trees are being harvested. people are waiting for the biggest event of the year. the desert festival. this is true it is very out of this race leading camel races have spent the last year preparing for the grueling merits of. the day before the race there's

a heavy sandstorm overcoming the power of nature is a neverending challenge. a desert winter. right from the sea. first for you and i think the trip. on our reporters twitter. and instagram. would be in the know. on. the gun the help to buy scheme for real estate which is a copycat of fannie mae and freddie mac. debacle which caused the subprime crisis two thousand and seven the british energy corporations are going to take fracking even though in america it's been proven to

be completely on economical and environmental disasters but they're going to do it here anyway because why nobody in the media here except for maybe george monbiot over there at the guardian will say anything about the fact that this is an ecological disaster and more importantly an economic boom doggle that will increase britain's debt to even higher than it is right now the highest it's been a decade. the .
