    people unintentionally break US laws all the time, yet our system still punishes them. and foreigners who visit and do the same too.

    Does it really need to be explained that two wrongs don’t make a right? It seems mad to me that one would say “these people should be punished because the us justice system does some things poorly.”

    I think the Turks is fucking justified in being upset at the endless line of assholes who KEEP TRYING TO BRING AMMO into their country. It’s not an isolated incident.

    They didn’t pass this law because people were unintentionally bringing tiny amounts of ammo into the country, they passed it because the law wasn’t strict enough to punish people smuggling in ammo for gangs. How does one actually convince themselves that they were actually targeting tourists with 10 years in prison because they accidentally bring ammo in the country? Lol

      They didn’t pass this law because

      oh you were in the legislature when the laws were crafted?

      REALLY?

      I’m dubious.

      In fact, they didn’t pass a law that said “no ammo but one or two rounds is aight”. Not “No ammo but accidents happen we understand and will be merciful and lenient, unlike the US’s policies…”

      no. They’re a sovereign nation man, piss and moan, whine and removed all you want, they get to make their rules and when you go there their rules get to apply to you. Stand up and be an adult. Fuck.

        Lol were you in the legislature when they passed this law? You seemed to have no issue declaring the reason for it when it confirmed what you wanted to be true, and now hypocritically are attacking me for for actually knowing why the law exists.

        And no one is saying that they can’t make their laws as they like. You’ve so badly lost this argument, and you know it, that you’ve turned to blatant hypocrisy and to attacking strawmen. Again, to be clear, I’m arguing the law is clearly unjust and it would a travesty of justice that these people lose 10 years of their lives, and their children lose 10 years of their parents, because they made a mistake.

          cute gish gallop.

          back in reality, you want to take chances with jail time, visit other countries and break their laws about ordinance, if you think this is unique to T&C you’d be in for a fun time.

          Beginning to think you have tacos for brains. gonna block you so I don’t have to waste more time on your bullshit.
