39. I think a whole bunch of Iraqis would agree with that........
"With freedom comes some danger." - what, so a dead kid is OK then? The parents should just accept that this is one of those sacrifices you make in exchange for the greater freedom? Do you really believe that guns are making individuals safer in Turkey?

"No doubt if they banned guns they would be safer from freak accidents like this."

Hey, call me crazy, but I don't call a child being shot during a gunfight in a public cafe to be a "freak accident". I call it murder, and it only happened because an angry guy had a gun.

"Of course when we pull out of Iraq and the Kurdish army starts coming across the border to take part of Turkey to create a new Kurdistan they will probably be happy they have their guns."

Shame that Turkey doesn't have an army and that its individual citizens have to fight against invading forces...

"Women's group The Second Amendment Sisters, called them 'pathetic'.

A spokeswoman said: 'These people should mind their own business. The Grimasons have made Turkey more dangerous.'"

More dangerous for who, exactly? Exactly how does taking guns away from people who misuse them make life more dangerous?
