Guns
Freedom of firearm access has made hate expressions more dangerous than ever. White supremacists, for instance, use firearms to intimidate, threaten, and attack political opponents.

By disarming these groups with guns, the public will no longer feel threatened by these violent, ideological, and racial extremists.
Hate
Jason Hayes from New Jersey was a member the LGBTQ community and organized a rally in support of LGBTQ civil rights. The rally, called DISARM HATES, attracted nine people from Los Angeles to support Jason's cause. Now, the bill is back in Congress, as a companion to the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. This Act would prohibit those convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes from purchasing or possessing firearms.
Gun laws
The Disarm Hate Act, which is a federal bill, would stop gun buyers buying guns if they were convicted of committing hate crimes. The Disarm Hate Act will not only apply to hate crimes laws in other states, but also would prohibit those convicted from purchasing guns. Background checks for potential gun buyers would be required under the Disarm Hate Act, which is already required by FBI.
Extreme risk laws

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.
