How do you know if Joe Normal buys a gun today, that he isn't going to catch his wife with another man tomorrow, snaps, and becomes a monster with a gun?

>>>>>>>Where does the customer come from? I mean he means "under a threat" as in someone's threatened the gun buyer.

>>>I still don't understand "...are you under a threat? No? Here's a gun.". Metin said they get a gun if UNDER threat, so why give me one if I'm not?

>>I see. I didn't understand it until now. So what he is saying is that nobody can get a gun unless they have some sort of reason to have it, such as self-defense?

>>What about people who hunt? Practice marksmanship? Collect? Shoot racoons who get in their garbage? Want to keep one in the house to protect their family if need be?

>Don't believe Disney, that has racoons in England, in "101 dalmatians", racoons only exist in N. America AFAIK. We have foxes and seagulls who rip our bin bags open but no-one wants to shoot them!

>As for your question: I don't care a hoot for people who want to shoot some poor doe-eyed critter, what's the need to practise marksmanship when there's no need to shoot anyway, what you mean "collect"?
>
>As for protect the family, M's Turkish laws seem to allow for that if under threat.

Gun collectors.
