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.

Some videos making the rounds of shells being dipped in pig blood would be a hell of a propaganda tool.

Austrians understand the true meaning of the Second Amendment than American liberals.

I recall from a visit to Switzerland that they all have rifles, I know they are not in the EU but I wonder how many refugees they are taking in.

...fire two blasts into the air...
Anyone trying this from their balcony inside most city limits would find themselves in the back seat of a police car on the way to jail. Thanks for the self defense tip, Joe.

You can have all the guns ya’ want. How is the ammunition availability situation there?
To: Libloather
A Viennese sociologist, Roland Girtler, said: 'Migration, in all of human history, comes with many worries. Many see danger in these foreigners among them. But this fear is unfounded.' Some Roman feller said that right about AD 400. I forget how that one turned out.

Switzerland is extremely well armed. No one in their right mind would try to invade the Swiss homeland. It’s like trying to invade the US. Too many guns to make it worth your while.

None. The Swiss don’t play around with their immigration laws. It’s very difficult to get a Green Card or become a naturalized citizen unless you have money or some legitimate skill to offer.
