Guns
Expressions of hatred are now more deadly because of the ease with which firearms can be obtained. White supremacists use guns to intimidate, threaten and attack political opponents. Armed opposition is a hallmark for hate groups and civilian paramilitary organisations. These violent, ideological and racist extremists will not be perceived as a threat to the public if guns are removed from these groups.
Hate
Jason Hayes, an LGBTQ member from New Jersey, organized last year a national rally against gun violence to protect LGBTQ civil rights. Nine strangers from Los Angeles came to Washington, DC in support of Jason's cause, and the rally was called DISARM HATE. Now, this bill is back in Congress as a companion bill to the existing Hate Crimes Prevention Act. This Act would make it illegal for those convicted of hate crimes to possess or purchase firearms.
Gun laws
The Disarm Hate Act, a new federal bill, would bar gun buyers from buying guns from people who have committed hate crimes. The Disarm Hate Act is dependent on existing state laws on hate crimes, but it would also prohibit individuals convicted of these crimes from purchasing guns. The Disarm Hate Act would also require background checks on prospective gun buyers, a requirement that is already required by the FBI.
Extreme risk laws
To prevent mass shootings or gun homicide, extremity risk laws were introduced. 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. In some instances, these laws have prevented mass shootings and gun homicides. Here are some examples.
Pulse nightclub shooting
Disarm Hate is a documentary about nine LGBTQ activists who participated in a nationwide rally to end gun violence in Orlando and protect LGBTQ civil rights. Harvey Fierstein narrates the story of the activists who fight the NRA and fight to reform gun laws. They also challenge America's obsession with gun violence. Here's a look.
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. This legislation was created in response to last year's Pulse nightclub massacre, which claimed 49 lives. But, the bill died 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.
National Coalition to End Gun Violence
The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (Coalition to Stop Gun Violence) is an advocacy group dedicated to the reduction of gun violence in 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. For the latest information on gun violence, sign up to receive e-mail 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 partnered the U.S. in combating anti-Semitism over the last few years. Training law enforcement officers will be provided by the Holocaust Memorial Museum. ADL was also a key participant in the White House Conference on Hate Crime. This led to enhanced community partnerships and law enforcement authorities.
