Gun sales in Austria have “quadrupled” as citizens of that nation seek to secure means of self-defense in response to the “immigrant crisis” that has enveloped Europe.

Earlier in 2016, the crisis led Austria to “began limiting the number of asylum applications it would receive.” But gun sales began to skyrocket prior to this move being made.

Migrants?

They mean Muslim invaders. The Koran says Mohamed will not return until the world is all converted to Islam. That means convert, or they will kill you.

Hussein Obama is fine with that.

Vote for leftists, and THEN buy guns?

Do the Austrians even know which end of the gun to hold? Seems like they have thing for inviting in trouble happily, and then feigning Victimhood.

Austria is fairly good by European standards — IIRC, the process is take a class, apply for the license, once you have it you can choose from a decent selection of firearms and use them for self-defense (can’t remember if Austrians are “allowed” to concealed carry). All in all, not too different from what us in Massachusetts have to go through. Is it freedom? No. But it’s not nearly as restricted as many European countries.

Why are you posting this from Breitbart?

Why not post the NYT or Washington Post versions of this story?

If people would gun up and grow some balls and be ready to pull their firearms at any utterance of the word, “Allah...” or blow any black robed, mask wearing, ISIS thugs away as soon as they entered their establishments the goat humpers might think before they pull their normal $hit...
