Austrians are arming themselves at record rates in an effort to defend their households against feared attacks from Muslim invaders.
Obtaining a working firearm and ammunition in Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands is practically impossible for the average citizen. Germany, for instance, requires a psychological evaluation, the purchase of liability insurance and verifiable compliance with strict firearms storage and safety rules. And self-defense is not even a valid reason to purchase a gun in these countries. “If anyone wants to buy a long gun in Austria right now, too bad for them,” the Czech newscaster says. “All of them are currently sold out.” Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, said he recently returned from a gun rights event in Europe, where he sensed a change in attitude toward firearms. “I just returned from a gun rights meeting in Belgium, and I can attest that all over Europe people now want the means to defend themselves,” Gottlieb told WND. “Self-defense is no longer a dirty word. In countries like Austria, where it is still legal to own a firearm, gun sales are at record levels. I can tell you first-hand that people in Europe now wish they had a Second Amendment.” The news outlet then interview a sociologist and an Austrian journalist, both of whom said the weapons purchases were based on unfounded fears about foreign migrants. The Viennese sociologist, identified only as Mr. Gertler, said no such fears about migrants should ever be published by any Austrian news outlet. A journalist named Wittinger said "something is very wrong here" if Austrians are buying guns to protect themselves against migrants. "Shotguns will not, after all, solve any immediate problems, quite the contrary," he said. The Czech TV station then reported that Islamists are promising: "We will cut the heads off unbelieving dogs even in Europe." "Look forward to it, it's coming soon!" the Czech newscaster said. ISIS-trained jihadists are now returning as European citizens or they are trying to infiltrate as migrants. In one propaganda video an ISIS operative informs his comrades back home in Germany to slit the throats of unbelievers in Germany, Czech TV reports. http://www.wnd.com/2015/10/islamic-invasion-pulls-trigger-europeans-scramble-for-guns/ |

We tried to tell them Bama............they just DID NOT listen.
Fuck, back in the 60's I wrote letters to the Prime Minister of England, leaders of France, Germany, blah, blah, blah telling them to not ban firearms for the public. I was just a 16 fucking years old wet behind the years dumbfuck and saw the value of the 2A.............of course, I NEVER received any responses to my mailings. I wonder if they even made it overseas? |

This is likely a non issue in Switzerland.

"Shotguns will not, after all, solve any immediate problems, quite the contrary," he said. View Quote I've solved several immediate problems with shotguns, so I must respectfully disagree with "a journalist named Wittinger". |

Wonder how many Mp40's & 98k's are being dug up or pulled out of attics now?

Austrian gun laws seem pretty decent by European standards. Apparently for anything non semi-auto you can just go to a store and buy it similar to the process here in the US.
|
|
That was predictable.
Oh well... I guess it's swords-and-halberds like the last time. |
|

Well since the MSM lies their asses off with any subject regarding guns, if they say the fears are unfounded, rest assured the fears are well-founded.

I fear its too little, too late. View Quote There are literally still millions of WW2 weapons hidden away in veterans attics, buried or hidden away easily accessible for this very reason. Too bad most of those old men are too old to do much about it. I fear that with reports of private citizens fixing to be voluntold to take in "refugees" that they will be found by the wrong people. Then things will be rather sporting. |

I agree with the above -- this will be very interesting to watch.

And Europe laughs at gun owners
Well who's laugh now??? You reap what you sow |

In other news, the French are also rushing to arm themselves. The sale of shovels has skyrocketed. Shovel sales have also seen a slight rise in certain sectors of Belgium and The Netherlands.

I wish people would stop talking about the second amendment as if it was what gives us our god given rights.

I won't even ask about how many know anything about proper safety techniques. I wonder how many of them have even heard the loud "bang" when you pull the trigger? |

Here's a link to a video I saw on facebook of a concealed carrier in France stopping what probably would've been a violent attack.
Good guy with a gun |

I'm not surprised by this.

"Shotguns will not, after all, solve any immediate problems." I often wonder what the modern world would be like if the press were even remotely truthful. That statement is so provably incorrect it would seem to indicate psychological problems, but 3/4 of the world agrees... |

You have THOUSANDS of refugees walking around haphazardly and the public over there has no means to protect themselves with firearms to any great extent.

I`m all for immigration from the ME if it is limited only to the HQ of CBS,NBC,ABC,MANBC,CNN and a few other select offices. Said immigrants will be given a sword and have de-activation devices around their necks with an expiration date.
