I've overheard a lot of talk recently about moving to Turkey for the safety and idyllic lifestyle.

I thought that they were IEDs. Who has referred to them as WMD?

I would LOVE to see murders in the US broken out by neighborhood income level. Then we can see just how unsafe our lives really are.

Muslims generate the fear.

Most of the attempts in recent years are from Muslims.

I am sure Turkey has some bad stuff going on just like every other nation on earth.
Have not heard of any Turkish movie theaters or grade schools being shot up recently.

Perhaps they should just move the Boston Marathon to Istanbul.

This here says the murder rate of women only went up 1400% from 2002 to 2009

I thought the 2nd amendment was doing a wonderful job of holding down crime here?

Apparently not.

As a matter of fact, the only reason I can see for needing it now, is the fact that we have so much gun related crime. We law abiding citizens need guns to protect ourselves from criminals who have guns that they stole or purchased from other law abiding gun owners.

Which looks alot like a spiral of sorts..................
