Still a live scene.

36 dead, 147 wounded thus far. I was supposed to travel to Istanbul for business a few months back (actually the weekend of the Paris attacks).

What a heartbreaking shame. One of the most majestic cities in the world, with an amazing culture and people.

It is terrifying what some poison in the well will do to a nation. And yet, we have an administration openly and unabashedly inviting this into our country with open arms. All at your expense (figuratively and literally).

Unfortunately I believe we are sitting ducks. We have lax borders and our student and H1B Visa policies are easy entry for someone wanting to get into the country to wreak havoc. Not even considering accepting Syrian refugees. Our country was founded on immigrants but not immigrants who were inflitrated with those wanting to kill us.

It's the guns fault. Also, just like guns, people should have to register their suicide vests.

Note that Turkey doesn't allow private ownership of automatic, or even semi-automatic, weapons. A license is required to acquire, possess or transfer a firearm or ammunition. Applicants for a license must pass a background check which considers criminal, mental health, domestic violence, medical, and addiction records. In Turkey, the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law.

Clearly it's time for a sit-in for common sense vest control laws.
