That is a good Commonsense Gun Safety First Step^TM for them to take.

Any word on who actually is behind it? Oh, no mater, the Turks will say it was the Kurds.

[mware]

Greta now reporting 107 injured .

[lurk]

ISIS biting the hand that feeds it.

What a swirl of alliances in the middle east.

[sagar]

Turkey is a proud Muslim nation. They therefore support their Muslim brethren, particularly if they are Sunnis. The rest is chicken coming home to roost.

I purchased a camper about five years ago.

I haven’t flown since.

[Renegade]

Bodies will be banned in Turkey because they are dangerous weapons.

[elpinta]

Good for you; as soon as my current work is done, I will be there... not worth the risk or hassle.

[ConservaTexan]

HRC chuckles with delight...

[Steve_Seattle]

It’s the NRA’s fault. /sarc

[Cboldt]

A commentator on CNN pointed out that Turkey recently arrested a key ISIS member, what he called "like the head of our CIA" sort of position.

Google turkey arrest isis throws up quite a few hits.

Just read that the airline terminal where the bombing took place has connections with EURO-16. France better screen every one going into the matches.

Hell during one of the matches someone got a flare launcher in.

Just why are the Moslems bombing Turkey?! I thought Turkey was a friend of Islam?

There's always "not islamic enough."

[VerySadAmerican]

Apparently sucking up Muslims don’t make you safe from attack.

[stayathomemom]

Oh my!

[Pearls Before Swine]

But...but... Turkey wants to get rid of Assad, who is Shia/Alawite, supported by Russia and Iran. ISIS is Sunni, as is Turkey. Why would ISIS bite the hand that sometimes feeds them. Or, was it the Kurds? When in doubt, the Turks blame the Kurds like most other people blame the Jooz.

What’s with the ‘ISIL’ crap? Call it what it is: ‘Radial Islamic Terrorism’ The ‘L’ is from obuma, thinking of Israel and Israel has nothing to do with this brand of terrorism, but obuma and Hillary do....

If I can’t get to my destination with two days of driving, it’s not worth it. Sorry, London & Paris. Been to Ottawa that way, though.

“Why should I travel? I’m already here!”
