A Perspective From A Left Winger In Amsterdam
I'm on vacation, and just stayed a couple of nights with someone in Amsterdam, through Airbnb.
He loves Americans, but Hates America. Is scared to come to U.S. because of all the security, the gun culture, and the NSA spying.
He says that a revolution is coming, and people are going to wake up. He also says that when it does, things are going to get ugly.
As he put it, you guys are loaded for battle. He says that when it goes bad, nobody is going to be safe, because there are so many weapons out there, no place will be safe.
He says that the perception among many Europeans, is that America is a gun crazed country, and the fact "we" truly believe that guns make us safer, proves that we are out of our minds.
Edit: I also want to add, that he's thinking of putting something in his Airbnb profile to indicate that republicans would not necessarily be a good fit to stay with him, because he is quite left of center. He's originally from Scotland, and it was somewhat refreshing meeting someone who has even more liberal views than myself.
