You can’ t make it up: As of February 2, 2021, there were 24 persons in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia with a firearms licence, despite knowledge of their links to Islamist activities!
In the case of twelve of these persons, the revocation of the firearms licence could not even be enforced. This was revealed by the Ministry of the Interior in response to a question by Markus Wagner, chairman of the AfD parliamentary group in North Rhine-Westphalia. And this statement does not make us feel comfortable either.
There is “no case” in which a firearms licence has been refused on the basis of an official suspicion of Islamism. Markus Wagner comments:
“Of course it is not the case that Islamists need a legal weapons permit to do bad things. They also get their weapons illegally. Nevertheless, it is irresponsible that suspected Islamists are allowed to keep weapons, while it has been increasingly difficult for law-abiding sport shooters and hunters to possess them for years.”
