Guns
The ease of access to firearms has made expressions of hate more deadly than ever before. White supremacists, for instance, use firearms to intimidate, threaten, and attack political opponents. Armed opposition is a characteristic of hate groups and civil paramilitary organizations. This will ensure that the public does not feel threatened or intimidated by these extremists, whether they be ideological, violent or racial.
Hate
Jason Hayes (a New Jersey resident of the LGBTQ Community) organized a national protest to end gun violence. Nine people traveled from Los Angeles to support Jason and his cause, calling it DISARM HATES. Now, this bill has been reintroduced to Congress as a companion legislation to the 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, which is a federal bill, would stop gun buyers buying guns if they were convicted of committing hate crimes. The Disarm Hate Act will not only apply to hate crimes laws in other states, but also would prohibit those convicted from purchasing 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 created to prevent gun homicide and mass shootings. This law allows petitioners to request a judge temporarily to take a gun from someone potentially dangerous. 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. Below are some examples.
Pulse nightclub shooting

In the film, narrated by Harvey Fierstein, the activists battle the NRA and fight 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. This legislation was presented last year as a response to the Pulse shooting which claimed 49 victims. It was defeated in committee. Sen. Casey reintroduced it this year following the tragic anniversary Pulse. While the Disarm Hate Act has yet to be enacted, it is possible for community members to take steps in order to move it forward.
