>What about Turkey is different? You mentioned that somebody that bought a gun must have a reasonable intent of using it, such as self-protection, etc. How do they prove that?

I can't claim our laws so much good. But at least you should show threat evidences to judge. It makes harder buy a gun. Of course you can find liar witnesses for prove a threat. But it makes buy a gun harder.

And taxes. Our government gets heavy taxes for gun. It's another dissuasive reason. You can only buy one pistol or one ungrooved non-automatic hunter rifle.

I see at american movies it like an american country symbol. A rifle on back window of a pickup. You cannot put your gun on a seeable place in there. I think so it makes guns for children eyes an usual accessory.

BTW I read yet, he used a pistol. How can he killed 33 people with a pistol I can't understand. It had occured about hours. Where was the university security? It's un-understable...
