European Citizens Scramble to Arm
Themselves

While many Americans demonize and attempt to ignore our Constitution, many in Europe 'now wish they had our 2nd Amendment.'
Austrians are arming themselves at record rates in an effort to
defend their households against the attacks from Muslim terrorists disguised as
Middle Eastern Refugees.
Tens of thousands of so-called “Muslim refugees” have poured
into Austria from Hungary and Slovenia in recent months on their way to Germany
and Sweden, two wealthy European countries that have ignorantly laid out the
welcome mat for a Jihadist takeover. More than a million will end up in Germany
alone by the end of this year, according to estimates from the German
government.
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 complete 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.
The laws in Austria, while still strict, are a bit less
overbearing.
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,” a Czech newscaster says. “All of them are currently sold out.”
He cites the Austrian news outlet Trioler Tageszeitung as the
source of his report.
“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 said. “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.”
Until the refugees started flooding Europe, it was mostly
hunters and sport shooters who purchased firearms. Now, people are seeking
weapons for self-defense because they are worried about their personal safety.
Most have never used a gun before.
So-called "projectile weapons" are available in
Austria under two classifications, C and D, which are rifles and shotguns.
Every adult Austrian is legally able to apply for a weapons permit but must
disclose to the government their reason for wanting to own a gun.
The Czech TV station then reported that Muslim refugees are
promising: "We will cut the heads off unbelieving dogs even in Europe."
ISIS-trained jihadists are now returning as European citizens and/or
they are trying to infiltrate as migrant refugees. 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.
"Overall, the ministry of interior stated that Germany is
in the cross-hairs of Islamic terrorists but that he does not have any
indications of specific threats," he said.
Bracing for another Islamic invasion
The Czech site reflects awareness of a major event in Western
history, said Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America.
"Polish King John Sobieski defeated the Muslim invaders at
the gates of Vienna in 1683. Another Muslim invasion is underway and Austrians
are alarmed, hence their run on gun stores," Pratt said. "Women
are right to be concerned in view of the Muslim view of women that they are
good for raping and little else."
The Czech TV report cited the Arab Spring as the root cause for
the flood of Muslim migrants into Europe.
"More and more, the whole thing is turning into the
situation that we will experience the much-touted Arab spring from very close
up – right here at home," the reporter said. "What's more, many European
are alienating large part of their own populace with unfortunate social and
multicultural politics, merciless removal of children, unfair seizures and
trading on traditional European values and with policies which are usually less
friendly toward conservative and traditional native inhabitants and leans
toward that portion of inhabitants who have little trouble with globalization
and nonchalant liberalization, removal of traditions and Islamization. Yet we
will not be able to rely on it, that portion of (population) once the Arab
Spring comes here. And that will probably be, as they say, closing the barn
after the cows are gone."
THE BOTTOM LINE: What is going on in Europe
should be an obvious lesson for Americans…but a lesson not heard is a lesson
not learned. While it should be apparent
that disarming American citizens is a danger to our very existence, our Federal
and State governments are nevertheless bent on doing so.
Let me remind you what the purpose of the Second Amendment is “…being
necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and
bear arms,…” The purpose was
never hunting animals for food, that was a given. The Purpose was, and still is, to maintain
and secure ones “FREEDOM.”
Never surrender!
