Our office (in the suburbs but near Chicago) was near a large gun range and they would see it when we took them to lunch or out for after work happy hour. The first batch that came to help us train, as we were their first Chicago based office, asked us to take them and then went back and told the others and then every time Europeans came to work for us, they wanted to go. Finland allows firearms but I believe only small handguns and single shot hunting rifles and shotguns. Some of my Finland co-workers actually talked of people having hunting rifles in their cars parked outside in the office parking lot to head out for the next day's hunting trip.
They just don't have the crime. But, after going to the range most of them said they saw no need for individual citizens to have the high capacity semi-automatic handguns and carbines they fired at the range.
They also commented on how much we drank even though we were driving. In Europe the legal limit is .02. If you get a DUI, you lose your license permanently.

(114,882 posts)about America, when the headlines in Europe have been about Trump and his wrongheaded decisions and self-enrichment. Read the comments and almost every reaction is anti-news media. Some of the accounts have other videos that DO feature Trump.
The video accounts themselves are rarely older than a month or two. Some track back to RightWing networks.
