Guns
Freedom of firearm access has made hate expressions more dangerous than ever. White supremacists for example use firearms in order to intimidate or threaten political opponents.

Hate
Jason Hayes from New Jersey was a member the LGBTQ community and organized a rally in support of LGBTQ civil rights. That rally, called DISARM HATE, attracted nine strangers from Los Angeles who traveled to Washington, DC to support Jason's cause. This bill, which is a companion bill for the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, is now back in Congress. This Act would prevent those convicted in hate crimes misdemeanors from buying or possessing firearms.
Gun laws
A federal bill called the Disarm Hate Act would ban gun buyers who have been convicted of hate crimes from purchasing guns. The Disarm Hate Act, which is dependent upon existing state laws regarding hate crimes and would also ban people convicted for these crimes from purchasing firearms.

Extreme risk laws
Extreme risk laws were designed to stop gun homicides and mass shootings. This type of law grants petitioners the right to ask a judge to temporarily take a gun from a potentially dangerous person. While these laws have not yet been widely adopted by the public, states are beginning to apply them in some cases. These laws have been effective in some cases to prevent mass shootings or gun homicides. Below are some 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 with gun violence. Take a look at the film.
Sandy Hook Promise
Several groups, including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Gays Against Guns, CeaseFire PA, and the Generation Progress Fund have endorsed the Sandy Hook Promise to Disarm Hate Act. The legislation was introduced last year in response to the Pulse nightclub shooting, which claimed the lives of 49 people. It was defeated in committee. After the tragic anniversary of Pulse's death, Senator Casey brought the bill back to the committee. While the Disarm Hate Act is a far way from being enacted, community members can take steps to further advance it.

How To
How to hunt wild hogs
Large animals that can be found in North America are wild hogs. They can also be found in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Asia. Wild hogs are omnivores. They eat plants and small animals like rabbits, mice and birds. They usually feed at night. After six months of gestation, one piglet is born. A sow has one child every two years. Wild hogs are solitary animals, although they sometimes live together in groups called herds.
Wild boars average a weight of 200 pounds (90kg). Their average head length is 10-12 inches (25-30cm), and their body length is 20-30 inches (50-75cm). Wild pigs tend to have long legs, wide shoulders, and short tails. Their skin is covered with a thick layer fat.
They have a very strong sense of smell, hearing, and sight. These senses are used to find food and detect danger. They can run up 35 miles per hour (56 km/h), as well as jump up to 15ft (4m) distances. They have sharp teeth. They are aggressive when defending themselves against predators.
Hunting wild Hogs can be difficult as they are agile, intelligent, and elusive. Hunting wild hogs is a dangerous business. If hunters shoot too early, the animal may escape. The animal could die if hunters attempt to shoot it too soon.
There are many different hunting methods that can be used to kill wild boars. The most common is shooting. This requires hunters hunting to find the animal, then waiting until it comes within range. Another option is trapping. Trapping involves setting traps near water sources where the hogs drink. Many traps include a scent lure, such as corn meal and peanut butter. Once the trap is released, the hunter will shoot the trapped pig.
Snaring is another option. The pig is caught using snaring, which uses a noose out of rope. It is best to catch the pig during its mating season.
Other options include poisoning or spearing. For a pig to stop breathing, netting or spearing involves putting a net or spear around its neck. Poisoning is when the poison is injected into the pig's throat.
Hunters who wish to hunt wild hogs need to be prepared for the cold weather. In some areas, hunters wear snowshoes to keep warm. Hunting dogs can help hunters track their animals.
