A Turkish man has been arrested after firing an AK-47 to celebrate his wedding and accidentally killing his father and two aunts. Celebratory gunshots are a tradition the Turkish government has tried and failed to stamp out, notes the BBC. The bridegroom lost control of the automatic assault rifle and fired on the wedding guests; besides the relatives he killed, eight people were injured.

Yeah that was dumb of me. I guess when I read it, It reminded me that "they" do that here as well. So my point perhaps is, Make sure you are only shooting your gun and not your weapon?...
