Coup in Turkey
« on: July 15, 2016, 08:50:47 PM »
I have removed two threads on this subject tonight. People are being killed, tanks are firing on civilians - it's a tragedy in the making - whoever comes out on top in the end.

The fact that Turkey exports firearms that some members like - folks, lets have a bit of humanity here - if the supply of Caniks or whatever dries up for a while - it doesn't amount to a fart in a whirlwind compared to the reality of what is taking place.

No more. The next member who posts about how it's going to be tough on us gun folks while people are dying in the street will get a timeout.

Thank you.

I visited Turkey in 1992 time frame. I liked the area I was at. Lot of history there.

Seconded.  There are plenty of first-world problems on social media.
