how many people own guns in this village more probably. with these things that are . actually not in that stand to bring him here i'll go not everybody in the county is quote a way of life here where everybody wants around here and they much else to do it one hundred feet i would say you know a very hard majority country people own guns and my grandson started when he was probably three or four years old so he just and i got one and hansei 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 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 to children as . rifle. i'm. sure many a cricket rifle irish guy running the cricket is the perfect way to get young or small framed shooters started right with the safety promoting design itself shooting 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 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 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 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. the cell but she looked she looked perfect i held her hand and. talked to her but didn't hear me. the grandmother of another child zaria go back. live in the same area. 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 would not make it that you know the bullet was lodged and they had shed a lot of brain swelling and 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 travel and of course all the added. i'm 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 coming to us hospitals that shelters every single year in the united states fifteen thousand children come into hospital it's. 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 in miles incredible and all preventable what kind of 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 within the hand area of the self so it's 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 this 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 like to fly barbie dolls they make them with swirls and then they call them . cute little names like cricket from chipmunks just as though if you owned 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 the children.

well six or one hundred yanks so. they don't just mean here. 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 sure trust me which is going to trust it ok. let's give it a go to. the free possession of the is in trying to 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 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 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. 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 there that plastic is like a real good old most definitely yesterday. it looks like a toy gun you know it's there in the glass that this is really bad well that is

just the furniture meaning those are just the excess arrays that you put on a plain black gun like at 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 four hundred dollars with a scope there's another paint gun mess for the ladies but we carry a huge stock a handgun so everything you think got from target guns to a little bitty angle 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 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 i'm being korean and of course pink for the young girls camel for the future han or 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 can begin to grow already yeah yeah hold on hunger good to see that. i do it you don't do it yeah. you know what. the goods 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 are hard work and they love good food especially meat. and there's something else they love to i doing you know you get i hear you sitting goats. we also keep the governor house yes going to see the pushchair maybe no one can meet or muzzleloader yet and this was

a twenty two and two shot. yes. what he did you have a nation also here. and it's like turkey ok. we have good looks better because i do a phrase you know like guns in your house but the five you know peace in my face 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 when they they have to earn my trust to do those things like you're the key that they they know words that 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 the gun cabinet this is if it is easy to do you know it's ok. to work. through gaining ground relist squash.

after dinner the children go outside to practice that savors held me in the back yard. maybe you don't know this nurse you don't pay chorused you're no response to really . knows everyone in my life that i cared about their goal much and then. i came to skin well. i was so national champion in track and field and also i was able to go and qualify for the olympic games. you know one nine hundred eighty eight i started to experiment with other drugs i had lost all the financial means that i. was really on the street.

where my. black market kids. can get a great kick off the street kid. winter is when the sahara comes to life you know laces palm trees are being harvested. people are waiting for the biggest event of the yeah. the desert festival. this is true it is a bit out of this race leading camel races have spent the last year preparing for the grueling marathon. the day before the race there's a heavy sound still overcoming the power of nature is

a never ending challenge. a desert went to the nutty. in two thousand and ten one of the first things released by wiki leaks was a secret video recording that actually looked like a video going showing two american action political protest opening fire on a dozen people in iraq and this is what it means to live in a society images of violence become normal this is what the sense of isolation and lack of empathy look like. when we try and experience into a spectacle only disassociate our own and body and actions from the activity we also have a sane person from certain kinds of moral investment i absolutely am frightened of the potential games desensitize people we know they can because the military uses games to nations. holding a war it is not simply shoot but it is killing and killing exacts

a penalty of the killer. people for whom it is defined by the popular media that. says. that. you guys too young to own a gun now. why not because. there are no we're not all pro do you know it's operated. i 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 thought they were now because you know only what is supposed to fight the process that is they lard 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 me 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 bully. 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 triple 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 just by 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 of the day out there today out. in the shooting club equipped with a restaurant and hotel is a family destination because of the vast size of this it is 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 a firearm you never have that finger on it so it's even taken a picture and there's 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. yet to hit anything yet it did because i could understand why children find this

cool gives you 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 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 says this is how you feel about guns yeah i mean did you have to train. but i thought you know if she even led that she'd be brain damaged and maybe skinny 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 bats the ball. for azhar his grandmother children and weapons should never be combined. granddaughter who was in the coma for two weeks with a bullet lodged in her brain. it's a new it is serious enough. to be. well 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 charlie and. what it chances to get a deal survive something like that well one in a million and the neuro doctors say that the baby never seen nothing like this before so they call or the miracle baby. schools sat. down with a child a high school and writes i doubt. any hit you.

what it was if you hit your was good it's bad a seeing a little bit of your head. 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. grandmother now has full custody. together they visit the hospital where as our it was treated. crazy its. own luck as a whole one. can't believe his looks. i filled up really nicely and 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 stuff 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 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. mr hill it circle ruin the ground 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 and 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. brother and mother regularly visit a gas station nearby which also serves as a convenience store in your absence has been blown. out of power just about an average of a wash lost weight you know ever since then like her mom said there's a bear her second grandmother who had a second grandmother so you must be heard when you heard the news yes really heard

about it that. i've 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 whatever that directly about you still believe in that you have the children yeah yeah meets on the project you say so so you say this gun for five six seven year olds is safe gun you even go if supervision your own grandchildren you would give a great. many pictures with their with me 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 though rather than spending saturdays playing football they go to the shooting range. why do you like shooting so much. shooting helps to really 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 is safe with this not guns or 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 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 in front above this in france 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 through the eyes of children and simply pay through the eyes of children this is the through the eyes of carolyn sparks if we can't do it for our children for our future what is the country is safer.

so god help to buy scheme for real estate which is a copycat of the fannie mae and freddie mac. debacle which caused the sub prime crisis two thousand and seven the british energy corporations are going to take fracking even though in america has 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 monbiot over there to guard him will say anything about the fact that this is an ecological disaster and more importantly in economic boom dog that will increase britain's debt to even higher than it is right now the highest it's been a decade. i know

c.n.n. 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 might think. it's because one whole attention and the mainstream media work side by side with joe actually i'm. good. at our teen years we have a different brain. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not tied. to the jokes i will hand over the stuff that i'm.

right to see. first tribute and i think the church. on a reformer splitter. an instrument. to be in the mold. on mom. you.
