Shotguns have 'virtually sold out' in Austria as citizens rush to buy arms amid fears of a massive influx of migrants, dealers claim
Weapon sales are soaring in Austria as citizens of the small Alpine nation become paranoid over the numbers of refugees crowding into their country.
In a country of 8.5 million people, there are now an estimated 900,000 firearms in homes.
And gun dealers report that it is women driving the sales rush. This year alone, police say 70,000 guns have been sold.
'Virtually all shotguns are currently sold out, because you need no permit for them', said Thomas Ortner, spokesman for an arms dealer in Upper Austria.

No he wasn’t imprisoned for defending himself, he was imprisoned for shooting them after they had fled the house and he pursued them, shooting one of them as he was cowering in some bushes.
I do appreciate that Americans like to believe that they rougher, tougher and freer than those limp-wristed limeys but rest assured, if you do that in most jurisdictions in the US you will also do some serious jail time.
Really? That's interesting. Do you know where I can look up more about this?
Most welcome. :)
Ping! What as the Mood in Austria about this?
I lost all of my guns in a tragic boating accident.
Total respect to the Austrian people, Austrian patriots and true Europeans.
From my many friends in Austria, they tell me, if this crap isn’t stopped, the first shot to be fired that opens Pandora’s Box probably will be fired in the small town of Spielfeld....a lovely place where the local population is now at breaking.
a lovely place where the local population is now at breaking point.
I suddenly have this strange desire to buy a shotgun.
Austrians understand the true meaning of the Second Amendment than American liberals.
American Liberals understand the 2nd all too well, they just do not want to be on receiving end when they run their endgame.
You mean Austrian women are actually preparing to repel rapists just as Sweden did not?
“In 2003, Sweden’s rape statistics were higher than average at 9.24, but in 2005 they shot up to 36.8 and by 2008 were up to 53.2. Now they are almost certainly even higher as Muslim immigrants continue forming a larger percentage of the population.
With Muslims represented in as many as 77 percent of the rape cases and a major increase in rape cases paralleling a major increase in Muslim immigration, the wages of Muslim immigration are proving to be a sexual assault epidemic by a misogynistic ideology.”
We should be sending them cases free double 00 buck ammunition.
Your information about Switzerland is out of date. Switzerland has a migrant crisis.
From wiki:
There has been significant immigration to Switzerland since the 1980s. By contrast, during the 19th century, emigration from Switzerland was more common, as Switzerland was economically a poor country where a large fraction of population survived on subsistence farming.According to the CIA Factbook, Switzerland is now almost 5% Muslim.The largest immigrant groups in Switzerland are those from Italy, Germany, Former Yugoslavia and Albania, Portugal and Turkey (Turks and Kurds). Between them, these five groups account for about 1.5 million people, 60% of the Swiss population with immigrant background, or close to 20% of total Swiss population.
The current federal law of December 16, 2005, on foreigners (the Foreign Nationals Act) came into force on January 1, 2008, replacing the Federal Act on the Residence and Establishment of Foreigners of 1931.[1]
Switzerland and Australia, with about a quarter of their population born outside the country, are the two countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the western world.[2]
Crime has gone up, and private firearms are being increasingly restricted.
Thanks, I did not realize they were having the same issues with the current events
Viennese sociologists were useless when the Anschluss showed up on their front door ...
The real Georg Ludwig Ritter von Trapp was a serious badass.
I wonder ... does Slow Joe have any clue just how ridiculous he looks doing that?
Worth repeating ...
