Guns
Because of this, hate speech is now easier than ever. For example, white supremacists may use firearms to intimidate and threaten political opponents. Armed opposition is a hallmark for hate groups and civilian paramilitary organisations. By disarming these groups with guns, the public will no longer feel threatened by these violent, ideological, and racial extremists.
Hate
Jason Hayes (a New Jersey resident of the LGBTQ Community) organized a national protest to end gun violence. The rally, called DISARM HATES, attracted nine people from Los Angeles to support Jason's cause. As a companion bill to Hate Crimes Prevention Act (which is already in Congress), this bill is now in Congress. This Act would ban those convicted for misdemeanor hate crime from possessing or purchasing firearms.
Gun laws
A new federal bill, known as the Disarm Hate Act, would prevent would-be gun buyers from buying guns if they have committed a hate crime. Although the Disarm Hate Act relies on existing laws in states on hate crimes, it would also ban individuals convicted of such crimes from buying guns. Background checks would be required for prospective gun buyers under the Disarm Hate Act. This requirement is already required to by the FBI.
Extreme risk laws
Extreme risk laws were designed to stop gun homicides and mass shootings. This law allows petitioners to request a judge temporarily to take a gun from someone potentially dangerous. While these laws aren’t widely applicable, some states have begun to apply them. These laws have been effective in some cases to prevent mass shootings or gun homicides. These are just a few examples.
Pulse nightclub shooting
The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, has inspired a new documentary, Disarm Hate, that follows nine LGBTQ people in a national rally to end gun violence and protect LGBTQ civil rights. Harvey Fierstein tells the story. In the film, activists fight the NRA while fighting for gun reform. They also challenge America's obsession for gun violence. Here's a look.
Sandy Hook Promise
The Sandy Hook Promise to Disarm Hate Act has been supported by a number of groups including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and Gays Against Guns. This legislation was presented last year as a response to the Pulse shooting which claimed 49 victims. It died in committee. Sen. Casey reintroduced it this year following the tragic anniversary Pulse. While the Disarm Hate Act is a far way from being enacted, community members can take steps to further advance it.
National Coalition to End Gun Violence
The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is an advocacy organization dedicated to reducing gun violence in the United States. The Coalition is comprised of 47 member organisations that engage in policy work, advocacy and public education regarding gun violence issues. Its affiliate organization, the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence, focuses on educational efforts. To stay informed of the latest developments regarding gun violence, you can sign-up for email alerts.
Anti-Defamation League
The Anti-Defamation League has a long history of fighting hatred and extremism all over the globe. In the past, it has brought attention to violent incidents involving white supremacists, such as the shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue in Poway, California. In recent years, the organization has partnered with the U.S. in fighting anti-Semitism within the U.S. The Holocaust Memorial Museum trains law enforcement officers. ADL was also a key participant in the White House Conference on Hate Crime. This led to enhanced community partnerships and law enforcement authorities.
