Guns
The ease of access to firearms has made expressions of hate more deadly than ever before. 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, a New Jersey member of the LGBTQ community, organized a nationwide rally last year to end gun violence and protect LGBTQ civil right. The rally, called DISARM HATES, attracted nine individuals from Los Angeles who came to Washington, DC to support Jason. This bill, which is a companion bill for the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, is now back in Congress. This Act would prevent those convicted in hate crimes misdemeanors from buying or possessing 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. While the Disarm Hate Act would not only be dependent on existing state hate crime laws, it would also prohibit people convicted of these types of 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 and gun homicide, extreme risk laws were made. This law gives petitioners the ability to ask a judge for temporary confiscation of a firearm from a dangerous person. Although these laws are not yet widely accepted by the public they are being applied in certain cases by states. These laws have been effective in some cases to prevent mass shootings or gun homicides. Here 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 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
The Sandy Hook Promise to Disarm Hate Act is supported by a variety of organizations, such as the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. Gays Against Guns. CeaseFire PA. and Generation Progress Fund. This legislation was created in response to last year's Pulse nightclub massacre, which claimed 49 lives. However, it died in committee. After the tragic anniversary of Pulse's death, Senator Casey brought the bill back to the committee. The Disarm Hate Act is still a long way away from becoming law, but community members can take steps towards making it a reality.
National Coalition to End Gun Violence
The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is an advocacy organization dedicated to reducing 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. The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence is the affiliate organization. It 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's (ADL), history is strong in fighting hate and extremeism across the globe. 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. It has partnered up with the U.S. over the past few years to fight antisemitism in Israel as well as the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to train law enforcement officers. ADL also played an important role at the White House Conference on Hate Crime. This created stronger community partnerships with police authorities.
