Nearly five hundred years ago, an
invading army was successfully repulsed from the city it had besieged. That
city was Vienna. The invaders were the Ottoman Empire. That was the
high-water mark for European territorial gain under Islam. Until now.
Today, in the news,
you see a wave of humanity pouring into Europe. We’ve been told to call them
migrants, or immigrants. But the fact remains that they consist mainly of
healthy males of fighting age. There is a shocking absence of women, children,
elderly and infirm in this crowd of “refugees” taking Europe by storm.
Seeing this enormous
group spilling out into Europe is concerning enough, but seeing the violence
and total disregard for people and property along the way? It’s alarming. Citizens in the
receiving countries are getting nervous.
When the local news
reports statements uttered by the newcomers like “we will cut the heads off
unbelieving dogs even in Europe”, can we really blame them for getting nervous?
So how have they
responded? In terms that even Progressives might understand:
“Self-empowerment”.
In plain English? The
Austrians are not leaving responsibility for their personal safety in the hands
of the police. They have cleaned out the gun stores. We don’t have to look
further than our own backyard to know how quickly mobs can get out of hand, and
how the police can’t be everywhere at once. So the Austrians
aren’t leaving this up to chance. They are arming themselves. They are taking
direct ownership of their personal safety. But, since they were
not already an armed society (like, say Switzerland), they needed to buy arms.
Not surprisingly, the
guns ran out. (So did pepper spray.) They’ve been sold out for 3 weeks. (This
is why, as a general rule, you don’t wait until an emergency happens before you
begin collecting the necessary supplies.)
Why did they run out
of guns? Is this another example masculine aggressive tendencies? The
testosterone-fueled over-reaction? Hardly. The people
buying the most guns are — according to Stephen Mayer (gun shop owner), are the
Austrian women.
A group of lawless men
rolls into town with an appetite for violence? No wonder the women bought guns. The very powerful
argument for gun ownership that even Progressives would appreciate if they
weren’t so ideologically opposed to it, is this: a gun makes a smaller person a
credible threat to a bigger person. This negates any natural strength advantage
of a potential bully, rapist or thief.
Gun ownership makes it
so that small people don’t have to be pushed around by big people.
That’s why people get
so passionate about this topic. Share if you think Europe
has a huge problem on their hands
