five hundred twenty seven thousand people dead and many more injured i decided to return to the subject to try to down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago to understand why despite this death toll there is such fierce resistance to even moderate gun control laws in the us. is fear was even on the trigger that's not what the picture is about he's not trying to harm me. he's trying to protect me. i'm looking out for myself my family my neighbors.

the. this is. relaxing. the thought that some people would want to take arkansas away to me is sound later criss crossed the bad guys thanks to murderous the ripest are always going to have guns and are you would be doing let me take them away from the good guys from the law abiding citizens people in this country handle in their houses and throw their dead outs but i want not succumb to this count that is out there. we were at our church last sunday and our sunday school teacher mike asked the class how many

people had at gun permits in i would say over two thirds of the members face their hands. this is a thirty eight taurus and it. for its second sealed hammer and it is concealed so that way it doesn't get tangled or stuck on anything when you try to allow that i've your pocket or your purse if a bad guy tried to. get to one of my family member is he would have better luck with that better now i think it's a grizzly bear than herding one of my my babies. closer to go this did you would use in this neighborhood were i would venture a guess everybody in this very odd out anybody does not have

a go. go this is the greatest sarahs. oh absolutely i can promise you that's the reason they're not covering it stay away from me and they were my home and we will have their problems. well this is one of my favorite things to do. myself. with a bible in one hand and a gun in the other we can make this country one nation under god once again in the name of the founding fathers of this great country don't you ever acquiesce don't ever turn your weapons of war in safety don't ever turn those over to your government it is the great equalizer if two people have a gun they're equal or whoever has the gun they are supreme. every time they pass another gun control law they promise

a safety do you know who did the same thing adolf hitler now there's already three hundred fifty million guns in america what are you going to do you can go confiscate them will. you going to make it more difficult for the criminals to get them they already have them they can get them faster than you can the problem with crime in america is recidivism the repeat offender if you want to go after criminals who misuse guns the first time you arrest him give them go after him keep them second make sure that the law abiding citizen is ready capable and prepared to shoot back. you know my motto comes right from the movie cinderella last year is my favorite movie really the motto isn't really was have courage and be kind.

i want my daughters armed i want my wife armed i want my sons armed and i want them to be able to defend their families we never hurt anybody we don't want to. but as the same time we're not going to just make ourselves an easy target for those who would. rape robin plunder no no way. i have six machine guns in the house ten thousand rounds of ammunition in a closet with a license i have i could get on a phone today and get i could order one hundred machine guns and here in two weeks if i could get anything you know i have a tank you know it is no and you know. to two hundred guns is what i sell the a k

forty seven and the fifteen and i got everybody beating time with the prices because i buy so many of the news people come here and i always blame the gun you know de asked me you know when that happened why do you sell guns to kill people who are you so when i tell them i said all these guns are on the wall last night and i walked in this morning and nobody was dead. you know it's stupid you know gun us to kill a people look at the people kill the people and they just used a gun to kill people you know use a fork and knife a hammer a screwdriver you know why keep blaming it on the gun or ok just give me just give me forty dollars i was. just a few i don't sorry if you started your finger time i think you are going to yes go off it here you carry that. for i don't know where you. are right that.

it's my birthday and i got a gun for my birthday what so i'm going to shoot it for the first time are today. we've seen just about everything m. sixteen assault rifles a ar fifteen some models hunting rifles with homemade silencers these guns could have been used by anyone they could have been use and robbers the message's and also homicides yeah it was nineteen years ago those words deal right.

since the laws in the state of tennessee of chinese substantially you're allowed to carry guns in parks. guns in bars you know guns in your car or so from a police chief's perspective i would definitely say that perla prefer if we do not have guns in bars. i got a four a tin shack gun from santa cause last year. right now our best selling rifle is the better weston it's just you know finding an issue that people just you know go to the range and go shoot. have fun. is there also are there's a lot of. b.s. and came around terrible. oh really since they're on the other will know.

it doesn't know where beam me you know. this vessel right here the glock semiautomatic pistol is more of the biggest biggest movie guns ever. hear that they know what they're doing because i saw in the movie. they're dangerous we have to go out there and stop them and i actually hate them on how to handle a firearm or mediately ok one of our most popular self-defense rounds here it is one hundred twenty four grain. jacket whole point is. rapidly hitting organic material such as your for a couple of metals or else we also have. an i.r.c. of tank with. huge seller here really is strongly accurate

where a very long room does that mean. tension oh most definitely i want by my bed for home protection my wife actually has a benelli i'm poor by her bed which in some automatic shotgun. was a little humming the next hill dead what does that do to your mornings that does it does it not make you feel constantly vigilant pen oh i mean definitely prepared all the way but i also have a family that i love and care about very much so if you watch the news you see it all the time home invasion here home invasion there highway shooting i mean it's pretty much it can be like the wild west out here.

most shootings take place in domestic situations a sizable number of people who kill other people are so-called law abiding citizens the law abiding citizen produces a lot of the fatalities by mistake in a her arm by accident. several years ago there was a trauma surgeon here in memphis who did a study of murders in two different urban areas. seeing if the presence or absence of guns in a home was a trigger already protection for murder then his conclusion was that the presence of the gun was more likely to cause a murder or death by gun than the absence of a gun in a home. city

it's not coming from the trump administration which is being victimized by this leave the imaginary hobgoblin of a russian collusion with the trump campaign is being used by trump's enemies and adversaries to do with him and his presidency. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full on. the only show i go out of my way to once you know what it is that really packs the. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love redactor the night president of the world bank hate. me seriously send us an email. it.

seems wrong. to me to get to shape out just to educate and gain from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the protest held against the owner a convention took place ten days after columbine who. knew what happened at columbine on april twentieth one thousand nine hundred ninety nine was that two two young men who were intent on killing as many students as they could they opened fire on students outside and then went when when confronted with

a police presence they went inside the school began shooting there went into the library that's where they they killed and injured the most students and that's that's where my son was then went worse as the day went on. no word from him being asked by the police if we could provide a description of him and what he was wearing. at one point asking for dental records and being told at one point that there was one last school bus bringing students back from columbine. when you're waiting for forty five minutes for a bus that shivani taken a couple minutes i then began to realize that there was no law school bus.

and how old was daniel when he died fifteen in. the u. . seventeen years ago when we last met i think it ended in tears for me because i realized again what i what i would do if they came to take my gun that would be the end of it for. this country for sure and i'm not willing to hand that over. no i'm able to do it and i know i would do it. protect my rights.

the rights of my friends the rights of my loved ones the rights of this country. the struggle you know that therefore i don't think so. or the store i wouldn't let it go easily and probably not while i'm living. i feel like there are a lot of gun owners out there who don't take the responsibility of owning guns carrying guns storing guns i don't think they take it seriously enough why the resistance to regulation. because it leads to more regulation. that's just. period to slow we can have a law to protect people from their own stupidity. one hundred eighty degrees backus guy sees

a word sexy when they talk about guns i'm not going to but they're all man to. their emotional. i don't know you. don't know. you don't know you in. a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state comma the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. the second amendment in every state constitution guarantees my right to keep and bear arms why for my personal safety and to preserve liberty that's why it's called america. i run with

swordfish emergency school i think there's somebody shooting in here. in america have become almost commonplace but the sandy hook school massacre was six and seven year olds were targeted by gunman reached a new level of horror and cops the rule of the american gun debate. today cause me to want to strengthen and absolutely not i think if one of those teachers the principal who never had had a gun. that young man possibly would not have killed anyone or. do you think it's he. it's all right i think a properly trained teacher. can and. just do you need to deal with i think is friggin fantastic certain school districts are training their teachers so they can carry

a weapon. and school. we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see how fast we get on the buses how fast we do this who actually got hit by. paint ball gun. straight cool but pretty. scary to the swat team comes in her room and they're like ok everybody out you know put your hands up and we're all put our hands up we're terrified and take this out. and we had his thought to him yes i did. yes this is a middle school. so. that possibility of our yeah we could be prepared. what do every single mass shooting have in common gun free zone. i mean

there was i think it was a color blind. from my cold dead. you know i think that part of the problem is that that the gun lobby has been very successful in getting their message out much more so than those who want to see reasonable gun laws they control the narrative that you're either for the second amendment or against it you're either for freedom or against freedom there's surest way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good way that god. hears after these mass shootings gun sales do tend to go up just because people start getting freaked out people think that the government is gonna take our guns i mean

i hate seeing the shootings happen but it is definitely is good for business. this is a smith and wesson n.n.p.c. fifteen in is our best selling weapon right now miller pretty tough. here. and. a sole weapons truck control this is. what is the this is a semiautomatic rifle. is it is in law an assault weapon no one else. semiautomatic one pull the trigger one shot and does what differentiates is it in your eyes the fight the ones fully automatic and the other isn't right while they can survive so that. because the media and the left wing politicians one mega

bogeyman ictus. of a tool plesiosaur russell i mean this is by even about what it is i know i know and i should even call them an assault rifle we're going to it's a military style weapon that's what they want me to say a sporting gun you know you know different names but it's the same thing it's a military weapon. not a reason to buy an assault rifle is if you're going to make an assault on an enemy position and you need a lot of bullets because you've got a lot of people in the position you're attacking the assault rifle was mere barn salt it seems to me you don't need an assault rifle to kill a deer this this ongoing debates that some people have about whether things like the a k forty seven and the a r fifteen are so weapons or not that whole discussion is absurd that the estee greatest friend and

a mass shooter could have. been heading out one. day on one of the. item. to two killers. went out in search of guns they were under eighteen they got an eighteen year old to go to the gun show to a gun show with them to make the purchase they purposely sought out a private seller that's the so-called gun show loophole where you can go to a gun show you know one table for the licensed dealer you have to go through a background check the table of a private seller no background check. yes guns that i sold and everybody sells every gun dealer that a found all around the united states in crimes they should have you know mandatory registration nationwide everybody owns

a gun it should be registered and i am and they're responsible for that weapon why should you let some kid walk in a gun store buy fifteen guns and be able to give him to fifteen of his friends with no receipt even sold them and everything's legal that means guns could be shipped in from the east coast in the west coast and sold in a newspaper to it to anybody that can pass a background check that's how the criminals get guns. about forty percent. of all gun sales are private sales they don't go through a background check and these are not going through a license dealer imagine going to an airport and have to go through security and they said ok we're in have sixty percent of the people go through security and forty percent can bypass it when you get onto that airplane. i think. i can take you right now thirty three miles from here and buy you anything you want

on the side of the road in the black market dealers it's out there facebook for example you can buy guns. you know but just try it with a product and that is still legal in tennessee you can as of now you can still be product sales in tennessee but without them without a background check you can so you can so that any one of us so to sort of introduce the law is. that shouldn't be. without grown chick do you should we shouldn't. you know also that after her not so well there needs to be some things done to people where they're back to working again and not being given money by the government to run around and do whatever they will but there's a lot of things we could there dressed maybe that's not the only problem could be some mental health issues could be drugs cause of these pro i don't know that but

we are not the problem. it's. going to be. should anything be done. now. the national solution take it's course. young. you are no no no you're no. no no. it's.

what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat of the rest of. the too like to be prosperous like the forty three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lives of my colleagues. or so.

desperate for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they saved lives. what is the real function of media in the west today to inform citizens or parrot the interests and policies of the political elites it would seem corporate media can't get enough. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry

but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to the claim that mainstream media has met its maker. heard in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington herd washington controls the media

the media control over the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. seems wrong. just don't. get to shape our. culture. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

terrified regretful and looking for a way the families of suspected eisel fighters await their fates in a refugee camp in iraq is among the first news networks to gain access to the camp . the un has asked the. woman not to reveal the names and most importantly not to tell anyone where they're being held. the u.n. security council is set to vote on tougher sanctions against north korea over its latest nuclear task while the u.s. threatens to block all trade with countries that do business with pyongyang.
