Guns
Expressions of hatred are now more deadly because of the ease with which firearms can be obtained. 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. 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, a New Jersey member of the LGBTQ community, organized a nationwide rally last year to end gun violence and protect LGBTQ civil right. That rally, called DISARM HATE, attracted nine strangers from Los Angeles who traveled to Washington, DC to support Jason's cause. This bill, which is a companion bill for the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, is now back in Congress. This Act would prohibit those convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes from purchasing 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. 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 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 right of asking a judge to temporarily confiscate a gun belonging to a potentially dangerous individual. 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

In the film, narrated by Harvey Fierstein, the activists battle the NRA and fight for gun reform. They also challenge America’s obsession with gun violence. Let's take a look at this 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. But, the bill died 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.
National Coalition to End Gun Violence
The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, an advocacy organization, is dedicated to decreasing gun violence in America. The Coalition has 47 members that are involved in gun violence advocacy, policy work, public education and policy work. Its affiliate organization, the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence, focuses on educational efforts. 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 track record of fighting hate and extremism throughout the world. It has also brought to light violent incidents involving white nationalists like the shooting at Poway's Chabad of Poway synagogue. In recent years, the organization has partnered with the U.S. in fighting anti-Semitism within the U.S. 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.
