it is not unusual heat to own your first gun in kinda got. how many people own guns in this village more probably. with these things are you. saying that in the absence of the paint him here i'll go it's not everybody in the county it's called the 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 the country people own guns and my grandson started her when he was probably three or four years out so he. and i got one in one of 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 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 for children is . right for. i'm. sure many a cricket rifle i wish i had drank the cricket is the perfect way to get beyond a small framed shooters started right to safety promoting design. affordable and accurate. while the mother was in the kitchen christine 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 but tragically she died soon often. i could hardly understand my daughter because she was so excited and crying and hysterical and said that 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 just she was gone that i didn't want 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 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 she looked perfect i held her hand and. talked to her but didn't hear me. this is the grandmother of another child zaria go back. live in the same area. as daria was shot in the forehead also by another child. and what do the doctors

tell you. that she was in critical condition that she would not make it that you know the bullet was lodged and they had shared 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 travel and of course all the adult. down this way and they will stop right at the door so close are tolerant to resell as 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 a year are coming to us hospitals that shelters every single year in the united states fifteen thousand children come into hospital with the young daughters let's start with 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 amounts incredible and all preventable what kind of shock once you get in this hospital. because we are 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 claim 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 and base we work with 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 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 like 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. there is that 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. place here trust me with this guy trusted. this cable to go to. the free possession of bombs is enshrined in the us constitution and is inseparable from countryside life here.

looking for ways to share with davis. or with davis 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 amenity that typically in stock we've got some more going 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. 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 there that plastic is like a real good old most definitely yes i know it looks like

a toy gun when it's there and 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 is like a 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 fourteen hundred dollars with a scope there's another paint gun this. for the ladies we carry a huge stock a hand guns everything from target gonna stay a little bitty angle gone self-defense guns target guns you know we don't have this in the netherlands it's like we don't have weapons store so for us this is 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 pink 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 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 book 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 i hope don't hunger good to see that. i do it don't do it yeah our boys are you know i was. the goods are a typical kentucky family father jamie's a farmer he has eight hundred dairy cows is a mill to twenty four hours a day the woods are hard work and they love good food especially meat. and there's something else they love too i doing you know you get i hear you sitting gums. we also keep the governor house yes but i see the.

gun came in these are all over yeah and this one's a twenty two and two shot. here this shot. what he did you have a nation also here. and it's like turkey ok shells so we headed. there because i'm too afraid you know all the guns in your house was a five you know peace in my face it 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 and they 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 smaller 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 that gun cabinet this

is if it is easy to do you know it's ok. to work you know gaining ground relist squash. after dinner the children go outside to practice that savors held me in the back yard. every cio with the illegal overthrow of the democratically elected government in ukraine the country stands at the abyss politically economically and even territorially strongly supported by the e.u. and washington the new rulers of my don't perceive as ideological zealots can they reach out to all ukrainians or will we divide the country even more. right from the scene. first street. and i think the church.

on our reporters twitter. and instagram. should be in the know. on mom. but. we're going to go digital 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 albums. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been a hydrogen why a handful of friends dash all corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once will just my 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 trucks and rational debate and

a real discussion of critical issues facing america have on the books feel ready to join the movement then walk a little bit harder. if you need to review economic up and downs in the find out all month day the longer the deal shanghai and the rest because i was doing the case you will be every week on things. that.

aren't you guys too young to own a gun now. why not because. they're not we're not all pro do you know it's not right you know. i'm not afraid of something happens with a gun the excellence of 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 me and what is supposed to fight 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 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 was shot dead is one of the largest shooting grounds in the united states. as eight thousand as the shooting ground is larger than eleven thousand troops all peaches. 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 isn't noble owner of rock also shooting range despite the tragic incidents in the neighborhood he still sees 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 town boy 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 a firearm you never have that finger on it so it's even taken a picture and there's an old 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 yes it is different but 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 wise to learn a 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 keep 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 with guns

that it you have to train. for thought you know if she even lead she would be brain damaged and make you 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 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 isn't easy to. the by. well it's still in the head it's too difficult to remove it. much of anything much she needs in the life of any seven year old. charlie charlie and. what are the chances 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. souls sat. down with a child a high school and writes and. let me get you. what it was if you hit you with a good it's bad a sling a little bit of your head yes. i would have got to say you were lucky a little bit. and cost. closer to where i go girl. because of the accident bizzare as parents lost their rights to parental care. how grandmother now has full custody. together they visit the hospital where as our it was treated. on. the look crazy

its. own luck as a whole while i. can't believe his looks to. have healed up really nice you can't even hardly tell it was their looks just like a little scrape now. they are 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 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 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 group 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 to the arms manufacturers. caroline sparks is buried here on the outskirts of cumberland county. her brother and mother regularly visit the gas station nearby which also serves as a convenience store in your absence you know him on. just about an average of

a washed lost weight you know absent men like her mom there's a bear her second grandmother there with a second grandmother so you must be heard when you heard the news yes i'm writing her 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 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's going to kill them yeah yeah leads on the project 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. many pictures with their with me

one day i hope to feel 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 to us. and i'm sure afraid something happens a children every day and us die because of short runs 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 is 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. after some kids were 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 to make we were unable to revive this child this is the gun debate

through the eyes of children who simply come to pay 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 the same for. the comments which we hear from the leaders are ukrainian ready calls they sound like ukrainian cellophane they say ok europe is not the europe which we are dreaming about because the family values on the mind of the christian values on the mind the gay marriages law and love song and so on and so and so forth it sounds like european telly but only one can exist.

we speak your language might be well enough to deal. with music programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little eternity bangalore's keep these stories. for you here. try the spanish find out more visit i to allahabad. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might think. it's because one full attention in the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on you.

and our teen years we have a different pretty. good because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not god. if you guys stick to the jokes well handled it makes sense that. so god help to buy scheme for real estate which is a copycat of the 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 disaster but they're going to do it here anyway because why nobody in the media here except for maybe george will be up over there to garden will say anything about the fact that this is an ecological disaster and more importantly an economic boon dog that will increase britain's debt to even higher than it is right now the highest it's been a decade. supporters

and opponents of ukraine's self declared leadership clash in the southern region of crimea while lawmakers are at loggerheads over whether to sever ties with the. well in the capital a crowd on independence square the hub of the uprising gives a thumbs up to several ultra nationalist places in the new government. yeah and then just leave these members of the public to be harassed part of shari'a patrols. far right vigilantes in armored vehicles patrol the streets of a muslim neighborhood in east london sparking fears of a cultural clash.
