Awful that “former student” is becoming its own genre of headline. Beyond gun laws, schools really need better follow-up on troubled ex-students, even a basic check-in system could help.

I've talked with teachers from many countries and the one thing in common is everyone says schools are overwhelmed. I don't know if asking schools to keep tabs on a number of people that can only go up with each graduation ceremony is feasible (or legal)

The world is fucked, and it's f****** people over. We ignore it when they just kill themselves and only pay attention when they kill others...

Absolutely even the shopping malls have better security check

How is this upvoted? It's one of the most ridiculous and unrealistic opinions I've seen all day.

So are you saying those students should be fucked over even harder? Not just expel them but keep on abusing them?

I see we are now successfully exporting Americanism.

Over 90% of guns in Turkey are unregistered. It's estimated that there are 25-30 million unregistered firearms in Turkey. It's hard to stop them when you share over 1800 kilometers of borders with Syria, Iraq and Iran.

Its literally not. Its only hard when government looks the other way while its happening. I mean if you think the state cant position a checkpoint every 100km or hell 1000 km and place drones in those gaps to properly fight against smuggling, then you are big time wrong im sorry Remember what bukale said "if a state cant overcome criminals, its because the state is a complicit

I am going to be nice and assume that you are not aware that Turkey is a huge gun manufacturing country. They have no need for American guns. In fact they are a major exporter of guns TO the US.

Huh? Most guns in the US that aren’t registered, aren’t registered because the state they’re in doesn’t require registration or it was bought somewhere like a gun show where they don’t even have to take down your name in many states, not because they were smuggled in from Mexico. People can openly just walk into a store and buy one if they’re over 18 in over 30 states. 25-30M guns in Turkey, with a population of nearly 90M. That’s less than 1/3 of a gun per person. The US is estimated to have over 500M guns, for 350M people and over 100x more shootings than Turkey.

Gun deaths per 100k in US: 14 Gun deaths per 100k in Turkey: 2.92

UnordinaryAmerican Apr 15, 2026 +2

Source? It doesn't look like Turkey even tracks their 'gun death' rate. That looks like a [2021 homicide rate](https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/tur/turkey/murder-homicide-rate), not a gun death rate. Relatedly, the [2023](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate) homicide rates per 100k: - Turkey: 3.228 - United States: 5.763

The difference is that this is actually a huge and rare event there. In the US it's just Tuesday.

Over 90% of guns in Turkey are unregistered. It's estimated that there are 25-30 million unregistered firearms in Turkey. It's hard to stop them when you share hundreds of kilometers of borders with Syria, Iraq and Iran. When I was in highschool in Turkey I had friends who bought and traded firearm between each other. Getting a registered gun is a bureaucratic and expensive process. Getting a carrying permit is impossible unless you have a need for it. The problem is the unregistered firearms.
