Question: why might that be?
From Breitbart.com:
Austrian Gun Sales Quadruple as Migrant Crime Rises
by AWR Hawkins
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.
According to The Local, the number of weapons permits issued in Vienna and Styria in particular in September 2015 more than “quadrupled in November (2015).” This is an indicator of the number of Austrians seeking out firearms for self-defense.
And the increased demand for firearms has continued. On December 18, 2016, the UK’s Express reported that Jeffrey Pang—an employee of Joh Springer’s, Austria’s oldest gun store—said the buying “surge in firearm sales coincided with reports of robberies, rapes and break-ins since the migrant crisis began.” He added, “Following the rise in attacks, customers want pepper sprays, combat training, small concealed carry weapons.”
Then there’s the issue of the so-called “Second Amendment” in Europe. Because Europeans are now wishing they had their own 2nd.
And there are four major firearms manufacturers in Austria — one extremely major.
| Company | Country |
|---|---|
| Achleitner Fahrzeugbau | Austria |
| Diamond Aircraft Industries | Austria |
| Fuchs Fine Guns | Austria |
| Glock Ges.m.b.H. (Glock) | Austria |
The key paragraph:
“Ten years ago, it was no problem to go running in the park or go home by metro,” Anna said. “But not now, I don’t feel safe anymore. I never thought about having to defend myself; I did not think it was necessary. But I felt myself as a foreigner in my own country.”
Why might that be?
Yes. Why might that be?

You invite people who are filled with hate and a penchant for violance, especially against everyone not like them. These people act like animals in their own home countries, and have no issue with killing their own. These people did not even hide their intentions, and have declared that they want to kill you. Yet, you bring them in anyway and when these same people do EXACTLY what they said they would, you act surprised.
Any leader that would take actions to help others to the detriment of those they are supposed to defend, is no leader at all. Merkle was elected to better the lives of Germans, and to make Germany safer. Instead, she is more concerned with the health and well being of people who did not elected, do not live in Germany, and want to kill her and other Germans. What is going on in the mind of such a person? Or, better yet, what is going on in the mind of those that would elect such a leader?
And I feel bad and I don’t all at the same time. I can only hope that those German citizens that are raped, pillaged and murdered, are only the ones that checked off the ballot box for Merkle, and that no one who wanted a more conservative govt has been harmed.
The only good that I see from this, is that these horrific actions will open the eyes of liberals, in not only Germany, but the entire world. That they will see the reality of the liberal decision to try and help these people by allowing them to come into their country. That this violence and death and mayhem will reverse their ridiculous notions that these 3rd world muslims can be made civilized. You cannot invite a scorpion or a rattlesnake into your home and not expect to get bit. And you must realize that no amount of care and love and money will ever tame such a beast. It is in their nature of muslims to kill, just like it is in the nature of the rattlesnake and the scorpion.
If you truly want to help these people, instead of taking them from their homeland, offer help to make their own home safe once again. This will have the added affect of forcing these people to fight for the supposed freedom they claim to want. And if they refuse, well, then there is nothing anyone can do for them.
Every country, America included, has fought for its freedom. Freedom is NEVER handed to anyone. If these “fleeing victims” claim to want only peace, well it is up to them to make their own peace. And yes, they will have to fight for it, just like everyone else did. You should NOT bring them to your own lands, and let them have the peace that they did not earn. There is no appreciation for it.
So, some tough love may be in order. Lend them a hand if you truly want to help. But do NOT turn your own homeland into a dangerous 3rd world ghetto, where your own people become victims, and are terrorized by outsiders, because you want to help those that do not really want your help, and to the detriment of those you have been charged to protect.
If I hired a nanny to look after my children, I would not expect her to allow a pedophile to come into my home. Well, how is this any different than what merkel did?
It is the same with a home that is rented and a home that is owned. Ownership requires actual investment and a sense of belonging and responsibility. Muslims have no investment in the EU nor do they wish one. Islam as practiced in the fashion set forth in the Koran has no place in a Western civilization. The rest of the ME has no problem with abandoning fellow Muslims; not one country has lifted a finger to assist. That, to me, is the most telling point.

Errrrr…..Lebanon? Jordan?
BZ You really need to work on your titles – since when did Austria=the EU? It is one member state but hardly a major player. Good to see a quote from a UK paper other than the Daily Mail but the Express is even worse….what next The Sun.????
Apparently you miss my point. So sad, John. Say, do you have your own blog? I’d love to go there and criticize your material. Please list your URL. Your email, Johns@hotmail.com, by the way, is far from thoughtful. Please come up with something more punchy, something with snap. It shows no creativity whatsoever.
Merry Christmas!
BZ
Hmmmm “your email will not be published”
I did not miss the point. Thought it interesting article on Austria but it was not EU – far from it. It is stuff like this that makes people start blogging on about FAKE news.
Excellent info piece, BZ. You keep on top of the important issues, and I thank you.
Thank you, sir.

BZ, as you know, the muslim “religion” is actually a “cult”.
Written in the 7th Century.
Mohammed my ass!
But we are dealing with stupid ignorant homo sapiens who would “follow a flashlight beam to salvation”.
So, the Koran of Mohammed dictates, yes dictates the likes and dislikes of this tyrant posing as a god of some sort.
We true patriots of our USA know all this.
Obama was a true believer of Mohammed, and therefore a true muslim.
He fooled a lot of Americans, and now the true Patriots of this USA will have to clean up this mess!
Donald Trump will do this. here is NO fooling him!
