Guns
Because of this, hate speech is now easier than ever. White supremacists, for instance, use firearms to intimidate, threaten, and attack political opponents. Armed opposition is a hallmark for hate groups and civilian paramilitary organisations. 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 strangers from Los Angeles came to Washington, DC in support of Jason's cause, and the rally was called DISARM HATE. Now, the bill is back in Congress, as a companion to the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. 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. 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 type of law grants petitioners the right to ask a judge to temporarily take a gun from a potentially dangerous person. These laws aren't yet widely used by the public but states are starting to use them in certain instances. These laws may have prevented mass shootings or gun murders in some instances. These are just a few 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 for gun violence. Here's a look.
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. This year, following the tragic anniversary Pulse, Senator Casey has reintroduced this bill. 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 consists of 47 member organizations that engage in public education, policy work, and advocacy on gun violence issues. Its affiliate organization, the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence, focuses on educational efforts.

Anti-Defamation League
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has a strong history of fighting hate and extremism around 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. It has been working with the U.S. to combat anti-Semitism in Israel and the U.S. in recent years. To train law enforcement officers, the Holocaust Memorial Museum was established. ADL was also a key participant in the White House Conference on Hate Crime. This led to enhanced community partnerships and law enforcement authorities.
