Shotguns Have ‘Virtually Sold Out’ In Austria

Local media puts the accelerating private arms race down to the sheer numbers of migrants and an attendant fear of house break-ins.

One gun seller told the broadcaster oe.24 that “because of the social change, people want to protect themselves.”

Police say 70,000 guns have been sold this year, a rush which gun dealers report is led by women who are also driving up sales of pepper spray out of fear for their personal security.
