Germany: 1,200 right-wing extremists licensed to own weapons
Germany s domestic intelligence agency has revealed that more than 1,200 far-right extremists have a firearms licence. Authorities also reported that extremists attended shooting practices, mostly outside Germany.
Hundreds of Reichsbürger are among the known weapons owners in Germany
While monitoring known and presumed far-right extremists, Germany s BfV domestic intelligence agency discovered last December that 1,203 of them were licensed to possess firearms.
And, according to December 2019 data also released by the Interior Ministry, 528 license-holders were the so-called Reichsbürger members of a right-wing organization which rejects Germany s democratic order.
Furthermore, 17 cases of single or multiple-series shooting practices attended by far-right extremists between early 2019 and late 2020 had become known to the BfV, three-quarters of them taking place in other parts of Europe.
