Guns
Freedom of firearm access has made hate expressions more dangerous than ever. White supremacists, for instance, use firearms to intimidate, threaten, and attack political opponents. Armed opposition is a hallmark for hate groups and civilian paramilitary organisations. These extremists are no longer threatening to the public by disarming them with guns.
Hate
Jason Hayes from New Jersey was a member the LGBTQ community and organized a rally in support of LGBTQ civil rights. Nine people traveled from Los Angeles to support Jason and his cause, calling it DISARM HATES. This bill, which is a companion bill for the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, is now back in Congress. This Act would prohibit those convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes from purchasing or possessing 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. The Disarm Hate Act would require background checks on potential gun buyers. This is a requirement already enforced by the FBI.
Extreme risk laws
Extreme risk laws were designed to stop gun homicides and mass shootings. This law gives petitioners permission to ask a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person who is 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
Disarm Hate, a new documentary that follows nine LGBTQ individuals in a national protest to end gun violence against them and protect their civil rights, was inspired by the Pulse Orlando nightclub shooting. Harvey Fierstein is the filmmaker and narrates the film. The activists fight against the NRA, fighting for gun reform. They also challenge America's obsession for gun violence. Here's a look.
Sandy Hook Promise
Many groups, including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (Gays Against Guns), CeaseFire PA (CeaseFire PA), and Generation Progress Fund, have endorsed Sandy Hook Promise to Disarm Hate Act. It was introduced to address the Pulse nightclub shooting which claimed 49 lives. It died in committee. This year, following the tragic anniversary Pulse, Senator Casey has reintroduced this bill. 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 organisation dedicated to reducing gun violence across the United States. The Coalition is made up of 47 member organizations, which engage in advocacy, policy work and public education on gun violence issues. The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence is the affiliate organization. It focuses on education. To be kept informed about developments in the gun violence issue, you can sign up for email alerts.
Anti-Defamation League
The Anti-Defamation League's (ADL), history is strong in fighting hate and extremeism across the globe. It has often brought attention to violent incidents involving white-supremacists such as the attack on the Chabad Of Poway synagogue at Poway, California. It has been working with the U.S. to combat anti-Semitism in Israel and the U.S. in recent years. To train law enforcement officers, the Holocaust Memorial Museum was established. ADL also played a crucial role in the first White House Conference on Hate Crime. This event sparked enhanced community partnerships with law enforcement agencies.
