German court decides Police can legally cancel firearms permits & seize firearms from People who Support the AfD (Alternative for Germany) Party, Not Surprising Given the Censorship Restrictions Already Imposed on Speech

Apr 1, 2025 | gun control

The AfD (Alternative for Germany) party is described as a “far-right” party because it is concerned about immigration into Germany. By American standards, those are very mainstream views, as a large majority of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants. Elon Musk also campaigned for the AfD before their national election earlier this year. Some of those losing their licenses to own guns were members of the AfD while others had merely supported the party.

Germany’s crackdown on people’s ability to own a gun is related to its crackdown on free speech. The Digital Services Act, which came into full effect in February 2024, imposes regulations on online platforms to mitigate and remove content that the government deems necessary to protect democratic discourse.

The Magdeburg Administrative Court has dismissed lawsuits filed by AfD members against the revocation of their firearms permits. The plaintiffs lacked the legal standing under firearms law. The reason for this is the classification of the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt as confirmed right-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
The Magdeburg Administrative Court has dismissed the lawsuits filed by two AfD members and a former member against the revocation of their firearms permits. The court stated that the plaintiffs lacked the legal standing under firearms law because they were AfD members or had supported the party. The AfD in Saxony-Anhalt is an association that works against the constitutional order in Germany.
The reason for this is the classification of the state association as confirmed right-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The Administrative Court’s decisions are not yet final. . . .

    Germany is repeating what Hitler did to “take over and have complete control” of the country.
