- At that date, 1,120 right-wing extremists, 357 Reichsbürger and Selbstverwalter, and 37 delegitimizers held weapons permits.
- In 2023, authorities revoked or received voluntary returns of permits from 157 extremists, 191 Reichsbürger and Selbstverwalter, and 12 other individuals.
- Officials declined to publish a state-by-state breakdown, citing the risk of identifying individuals and jeopardizing ongoing or future probes.
- The government provided no statistics on explosives permits and said newer firearms figures are not yet available, as Greens lawmaker Marcel Emmerich urged faster, systematic disarmament.
