Some of us were wondering when the Europeans would start pushing back:
http://dailycaller.com/2016/04/24/gun-toting-immigration-foe-wins-austrian-presidential-vote/An opponent of increased Muslim immigration who is famed for carrying a gun everywhere he goes has triumphed in the first round of Austria’s presidential election.
Norbert Hofer is the nominee of the Freedom Party, a populist right-wing political party that opposes Muslim immigration and is skeptical of the European Union. Hofer has attracted attention on the campaign trail by carrying a Glock handgun with him and posting a photo of himself at a shooting range. Hofer says he represents a trend of Austrians buying guns to protect themselves from the crime and uncertainty created in the wake of an unprecedented wave of foreign migrants.
It's worth noting that Hofer only got 36.7% of the vote and will face a Green-ish opponent in a runoff next month.
With the U.K. also contemplating an exit from the EU, and right-leaning parties in Poland and Hungary enjoying success, we may be seeing the beginning of the end of European unity (inasmuch as there ever was any).
