The Czech government is currently working towards amending the constitution so ordinary citizens will be allowed to shoot terrorists if police are not present. The radical new proposals are going to be presented to parliament in the coming months in a bid to ensure there is a well-equipped civilian line of defence against Islamist terror.

President Milos Zeman has already told the Czech population to buy weapons in preparation for a "super Holocaust" perpetrated by Muslim terrorists. There are currently 300,000 people with a firearms license in the nation, which shares a border with terror-hit Germany, and around 800,000 legally owned weapons. Milan Chovanec said: “More Czechs are getting firearms licences, and I think that if the situation does not improve in the coming months, then the number of firearms holders will grow.”

The move could see the Czech Republic square up the the European Union, which is seeking to ban the sale of high powered weapons within its borders. A European regulation set for approval in the Spring EU summit could massively restrict the sale of assault rifles such as Kalashnikovs or AR-15s, which are repeatedly used during mass killing sprees in America.
