Osmaniye's NRA chapter must be asleep at the switch.
In Osmaniye, a campaign has begun against the firing of guns at weddings,
which kills or wounds many innocent people. The village chiefs leading
the campaign stated that "firing weapons at weddings ruins the joyous
atmosphere. Instead of buying bullets, spend the money on children's
education."
In this regard, at the wedding of Emine and Mikail Canbolat in the
Şekerdere neighborhood posters were raised with the following messages:
"This wedding is safe because no guns have been fired!", "Say 'no' to guns,
no bullets in the sky!" and "No to love of guns!" The Gendarmerie and
the village chiefs handed out stationary items for school to about 100
children. The items were purchased with the money that would otherwise
have been spent on bullets.
Ali Kama, a village chief living 15 kilometers from the city center, said
that "we don't want to see anyone hurt by bullets fired by a reckless
person. We hope that what we're doing here will spread across the
nation." (ed. comment: figure the odds.)

"Ouch!"..."Just take two aspirins and call me in the morning."
Because of the recent rise in violence against doctors (!) across the
country, doctors in Bursa have begun learning aikido to protect
themselves. Male and female doctors of the 500-member Bursa
Family Doctors Association have been taking aikido lessons twice
a week for two hours for the past three months.
Association President Ali Torun explained that "violence against
health professionals who provide health services to our citizens
cannnot be tolerated. The state has to take effective measures
in this regard because it's clear that the measures taken so far are
just eyewash. That's why we're having our members take aikido
lessons to defend themselves."
