Guns
The ease of access to firearms has made expressions of hate more deadly than ever before. White supremacists use guns to intimidate, threaten and attack political opponents. Armed opposition are a hallmark hate groups as well as civilian paramilitary group. These extremists are no longer threatening to the public by disarming them with guns.
Hate
Last year, Jason Hayes, a member of the LGBTQ community from New Jersey, organized a national rally to stop gun violence and protect LGBTQ civil rights. That rally, called DISARM HATE, attracted nine strangers from Los Angeles who traveled to Washington, DC to support Jason's cause. Now, this bill has been reintroduced to Congress as a companion legislation to the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. This Act would ban those convicted for misdemeanor hate crime from possessing or purchasing firearms.
Gun laws
The Disarm Hate Act, a new federal bill, would bar gun buyers from buying guns from people who have committed hate crimes. 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
To stop mass shootings and gun murder, extremist risk laws were established. This law gives petitioners permission to ask a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person who is potentially dangerous. The laws have yet to be widely adopted, but some states are applying them. These laws have in some cases prevented mass shootings, and gun homicides. Here are some examples.

Sandy Hook Promise
Several groups, including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Gays Against Guns, CeaseFire PA, and the Generation Progress Fund have endorsed the Sandy Hook Promise to Disarm Hate Act. 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. Even though the Disarm Hate Act remains a long way off being enacted by Congress, the community can still take steps to make it happen.

In recent years, the organization has partnered with the U.S. in fighting anti-Semitism within the U.S. It has also trained law enforcement officers at the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
