I wonder why I immediately though Hamas when I saw AK-47?

I don't know. Hamas isn't very active in Turkey. I mean, it is the world's only Islamic republic. This was just a Turkish redneck of sorts, from the sound of it.

I do know that it's gaining popularity in Turkey. But c'mon, who just has an AK lying around the house. A shotgun is one thing, but I don't know many people that hunt with a Kalishnakov. Besides, well, Hamas etc.

Oh man, in that part of the world EVERYONE has that laying around. No joke. There are so many of those things in Asia and Africa.

And then apparently they kill their dad with one.

Only on special occasions, though.

I saw this story from an Australian website. They included this gem:

Turks are notorious for breaking out into gunshots to celebrate weddings and sports victories, a practice that has caused many deaths and which authorities have so far failed to curb.

IP is right, there are a ton of AKs around there.

The Cold War still has lasting ripples in some strange ways. One of the others is all the T-51 tanks you can find in different corners of the globe. For communists, the USSR sure sold a lot of stuff.

I honestly had to click on that link with trepidation. I have a colleague that is getting married in Turkey at some point close to now. He is not exactly the hand-eye coordinated or dexterous kind.....I honestly couldn't rule it out until I read a name. That's sad...and funny.

the ruble was useless in international trade so they sold stuff for hard currency.
