Islamic Invasion Has Europeans Lamenting Lack Of Right To Bear Arms
Bearing Arms ^ | 10/27/2015 | Bob Owens

Posted on 10/29/2015 11:10:40 AM PDT by Signalman

A World Net Daily article (is) claiming that fearful Europeans are making a run on their local gun stores in response to the flood of young, mostly male Muslim “refugees” that are flooding into Europe in what many see as nothing more or less than an invasion.

A Czech TV report confirms that long guns – shotguns and rifles – have been flying off the shelves in Austria, and Austrians who haven’t already purchased a gun may not have a chance to get one for some time. They’re all sold out.

And those arming themselves are primarily women.

“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.”

“We cannot complain about lack of demand,” Stephen Mayer, a gun merchant, told Trioler Tageszeitung.

He claims the stock has been sold out for the last three weeks and that demand is being fueled by fears generated by social changes.

“People want to protect themselves,” Mayer said. “Nonetheless, the most common purchasers of arms are primarily Austrian women.”

They are also buying pepper sprays, which Mayer said are in big demand among those who can’t get a gun.

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

The lie of islam being the religion of peace has been exposed.


No it hasn’t. Not in the college world here in America. They still all totally believe the lie.

Agreed and one can take comfort knowing that we’re on the right side, therefore our God is with us.

The Traitors are as you Americans say, batting for the other side.

It’s happened numerous times throughout history. We are now where our ancestors found themselves time and time again.

I’ll bet you are a gypsy.

I’ll bet you carry a tambourine around with you.

I’ll bet you wear a scarf on your head and eat raw garlic.

Well, if you’re not, I am.

I put a gypsy curse on you!

May you spend the rest of your days going to Picadilly Circus looking for the elephant act.

Sorry, my post contains a lot of those weird special characters. Never happened before.

Could the problem be with FR?

It should work.

Those are curly quotes, e.g.,

“refugees”

The page is supposedly encoded in UTF-8. Curly quotes require three bytes each in UTF-8 (in hex: e2 80 9c and e2 80 9d). A browser rendering UTF-8 should show those triplets as the left and right curly quote characters, respectively.

However, if you look at the page source, what you see is not the above hex, but instead HTML entities corresponding to the three bytes of each triplet:

Muslim “refugees” that are

It appears to be an FR bug. The server is translating individual bytes outside the 7-bit ASCII range to the corresponding HTML entities, resulting in the garbage we are seeing. It should leave them alone and let the browser render them correctly — something browsers have been capable of doing for some years now.

This bug is a recent development. For instance, you now get garbage if you post Russian:

Путин instead of Путин.

Posting Russian (or pretty much anything else) always used to work fine.

Take a homogenous country and throw in some races who don’t want to assimilate and suddenly you have prisons full of people and the need for right to bear arms.

Yeah, and the media is pushing 0bama to make an EO banning guns.

First, I have said all along that Obama has no plans to leave the WH at the end of his 2nd term. Even if I'm wrong, I have NO doubt that he will try to EO gun control and/or confiscation before then. The answer must be a resounding "NO" delivered in the firmest possible manner.

That’s the best description of Europe I’ve seen in decades.

You know something, it's inevitable that the worst karma is going to be hitting your country.

^^This^^

Sadly, we, the people, can't hide behind the good deeds of our parents and grandparents anymore.

In this brave new world they passed down, we grew up believing that the old rules don't apply to US, so we made our castles out of sand.

We're the kids who inherited it all and have partied hearty ever since.

As is always the case, reality and karma have been waiting patiently and now, finally, the trust account is empty and overdrawn.

Those “special” characters appear in all three of my browsers so I would conclude it to be a FR issue

Well, well. I sympathize with you. It’s been a long time since George III, and for the most part both America and modern England have developed ideas of freedom. England—and Christian Europe—is where Americans got their concept of freedom from, even though they had to fight them to get it.

I have English cousins, and spent a year there as a visiting scholar at Jesus College, Cambridge, as well as various shorter visits.

I must say that I think England has gone down hill too, since the days of World War II and the post-colonial fiascos. Neither country is what it was, and it’s hard to say which of them faces the worst karma, frankly. Think Prince Charles or David Cameron, and compare them to Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, or Maggie Thatcher.
