Guns
Because of this, hate speech is now easier than ever. White supremacists for example use firearms in order to intimidate or threaten political opponents. Armed opposition has been a hallmark of hate and paramilitary civilian groups. By disarming these groups with guns, the public will no longer feel threatened by these violent, ideological, and racial extremists.
Hate
Jason Hayes, an LGBTQ member from New Jersey, organized last year a national rally against gun violence to protect 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 bar those convicted misdemeanors of hate crimes from possessing or buying firearms.
Gun laws
The Disarm Hate Act is a federal bill that would prohibit gun buyers from purchasing guns if they are convicted of committing a hate crime. 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 require background checks on potential gun buyers. This is a requirement already enforced by the FBI.
Extreme risk laws
To prevent mass shootings or gun homicide, extremity risk laws were introduced. This law allows petitioners to request a judge temporarily to take a gun from someone potentially dangerous. While these laws aren’t widely applicable, some states have begun to apply them. These laws may have prevented mass shootings or gun murders in some instances. Here are some examples.
Pulse nightclub shooting
Disarm Hate follows nine LGBTQ people as they rally across the country to end gun violence, and protect their 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 in gun violence. Let's take a look at this film.
Sandy Hook Promise
Many groups have endorsed the Sandy Hook Promise to Disarm Hate Act, including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. This legislation was created in response to last year's Pulse nightclub massacre, which claimed 49 lives. The bill was killed 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 comprised of 47 member organisations that engage in policy work, advocacy and public education regarding gun violence issues. Its affiliate, the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence (EFSV), focuses on education. You can also sign up for e-mail alerts to keep informed of developments related to the issue of gun violence.
Anti-Defamation League
The Anti-Defamation League, (ADL) has a strong record of fighting hate in the world. It has raised awareness about violent incidents involving white extremists, such the attack at the Chabad-of-Poway synagogue in Poway (California) in the past. In recent years, the organization has partnered with the U.S. in fighting anti-Semitism within the U.S. To train law enforcement officers, the Holocaust Memorial Museum was established. ADL also played an important role at the White House Conference on Hate Crime. This created stronger community partnerships with police authorities.
