with these things are you. saying that in the absence of opinion of your own go. everybody. is quote a way of life here where everybody around here at. the i would say you know a very hard majority of country people own guns and my grandson started when he was probably three or four years out so he. and i got one. 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. line to. shoot my new cricket rifle i wish i had the 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 and i put 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 this

she was gone that i didn't know what to do i remember 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. for the help of the brain swelling and. and so 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 back. to live in the same area. as daria was shot in the forehead by another child. and what did the doctor 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 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 trenton and then of course all they have. 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 don't see in the united states with adults it's thirty two thousand people are killed every single year in the united states mazing amounts incredible and all preventable what kind of a 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 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 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 barbe a pink like just like 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 i went hunting with the yanks so. i missed it 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. they should trust me with this guy trusted oh look at . this 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 no need to go to from the netherlands from where the netherlands the netherlands yes. you

have lots of guns we do have lots of things how many do you typically in stock we've got some more point 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 really good old most definitely yes i know it looks like a toy gun you know it's there and then the blast like 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 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 four hundred dollars with a scope there's another paint gun best for the ladies but we carry a huge stock a handgun so 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 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 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 they're gonna 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 any yeah yeah i hope i don't hunger to see that. i do it don't do it yeah our boys are 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 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 going to see the pushchair maybe no one can meet or muzzleloader yet and this one's a twenty two and two shot. well yes.

what do you give a nation also here oh yes no no and it's like turkey ok. we can do. better because i'm too afraid no i've got to see 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 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 was 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 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 savers hubby in the backyard . i marinate join me on the first in-depth impartial and financial reporting commentary confirm this and much much. only on bombast and.

dramas that can't be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. the faces changing the world lights never. so picture of today's. problems in from around the globe. local. t.v. . interview.

you're. right you guys too young to own a gun. why not because. we're not all you know it's all right. 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 a 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 that belief. 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 football pitches. 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 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 there today out. in 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 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 if you're even taking 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 that they hit to for time i can understand why children find these who would give a thrill a bit of adrenaline yes i can understand that yeah is it the wife's 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 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. 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 and maybe 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 signal. 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 by by. the. well it's still in the head it's too difficult to remove it. but other than that she leads in the life of any seven year old. certainly chilly. what are the chances that it will survive something like that well one of the million and the doctors say that in a 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 it's all reality. and they hit you. what it was if you hit you with a cold it's bad a serious. look at your head yes. i

would have got to say you were lucky a little bit. on the cost. to wear goldhill. 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. these look crazy it's. own luck it's a home one. can't believe his looks to get. my shield 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 still 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 her now she's fabulous. absolutely fabulous and this is the recovery that you always hope for a small nergal a small miracle definitely something that you're doing so 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 hospitals across america with gunshot wounds and eight children die every day because of the consequences. 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 secretary admits that due to the death of caroline sparks 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 the gas station nearby which also serves as a convenience store in your absence has been on. just about an average of a wash lost weight. ever since men like her mom there's a bear second grandmother there with a second grandmother so you must be heard when you heard the news yes 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 for taking

the rights i don't like we feel they were doing. so even after the tragedy would have to that greatly add up you still believe it or your guns that you have the children yeah yeah meets on the protect you say so so you say this gun for five six seven year olds is safe gun you would even go if supervision your own grandchildren you would give the great many pictures with their with maybe one day i hope to fill 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. shooting helps the roof stress you know. and i'm sure afraid something happens a children every day and you wish to die because of chatrooms 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 always mr daughter and i'm very blessed that we have you see 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 thank you back again was just a ploy again. if you look at this in front above the infants 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 and since the gun debate 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 to save for.

so gov the 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 disasters 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 guard him will say anything about the fact that this is an ecological disaster and more importantly an economic boom dog all that will increase britain's debt to even higher than it is right now the highest it's been a decade. as you don't know if you don't prove. your response to ruse. most everyone in my life
