The authorities of the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt have determined that members of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) are "generally" not reliable enough to receive a gun ownership permit. This assessment could lead to individuals joining the party losing their gun ownership rights.

Additionally, it is noteworthy that senior officials of the Saxony-Anhalt party branch had contact with the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) in January, which may be relevant to the political and security assessments.],
