Guns
The ease of access to firearms has made expressions of hate more deadly than ever before. For example, white supremacists may use firearms to intimidate and threaten 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 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. Now, this bill has been reintroduced to Congress as a companion legislation to the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. 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. 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 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. 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 directs the film. He narrates how the activists battle the NRA to fight for gun reform. They also challenge America's obsession with gun violence. Take a look at the film.
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. In response to the Pulse nightclub shooting that claimed 49 lives, the legislation was introduced in 2011. However, it died in committee. After the tragic anniversary of Pulse's death, Senator Casey brought the bill back to the committee. Although the Disarm Hate Act may not be enacted immediately, members of the community can make steps to advance it.
