Two Democratic legislators introduced the “Disarm Hate Act” this week, which calls for the permanent revocation of 2A rights for any misdemeanor offense deemed to be a hate crime.
The bill was brought to both chambers, via Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) in the House and Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) in the Senate. Sponsors believe the bill closes the “Hate Crimes Loophole” by banning the sale and possession of firearms for anyone convicted of committing a crime on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
“Over and over again we have seen what happens when a convicted white supremacist, white nationalist, or neo-Nazi is able to purchase a gun,” said Cicilline, who serves as Vice Chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, in a statement obtained by GunsAmerica. “This bill closes the Hate Crimes Loophole and makes it much harder for someone to give voice to their hatred in a volley of gunfire. It’s just common sense. If you’ve been convicted of a hate crime, you don’t get to buy a gun. Full stop,” he added.
John Feinblatt, the president of Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety, cheered the measure. “When hate comes armed, it can be deadly,” said Feinblatt. “But right now, there is no federal law that prevents people convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes from owning or buying guns — a situation that defies both common sense and common decency.” “We applaud Rep. Cicilline and Sen. Casey for honoring the victims of shootings at the Chabad of Poway, Tree of Life Synagogue and thousands of other preventable tragedies for introducing legislation to disarm hate,” he added. While the Left would have you believe that hate crimes are skyrocketing in the age of Trump, the data paints a different picture. An analysis by the Bureau of Justice Statistics suggests that while reported hate crimes have increased in recent years, the number of unreported hate crimes have dropped over the same period. Meanwhile, the overall total of both unreported and reported hate crime victimizations has remained somewhat steady over the past three years but down significantly since 2014 and the previous years when Obama was in office

Show me half a dozen cases then, Dave. Shouldn’t be hard if it’s “over and over again”.
Part of the prob w/CC permitting is that trivial violations can lead to disallowing the license. Good reason not to require permit for it.

Thought Crime Act Introduced: Would Permanently Revoke 2A Rights for Misdemeanor Thought Crimes
...and who are you gonna put in their places? Other scumbag Republicans? RATs?
The deck is stacked against us. To believe otherwise is foolishness. Just look at all the help the GOP is giving President Trump!
Exactly. All violent crime is hateful.
That would seem to violate that “shall not be infringed” part of the Second Amendment. But what do I know? I only speak English.
So laugh at a male freak wearing a dress (which will be a misdemeanor hate crime if not already) or call it “him” and lose your rights to own a firearm forever? But if you’re a felon, Dems want you to be able to vote? Um, NO and NO.
Anything to disarm Americans.
Just great! Do we even live in the USA anymore? First this week we had Warren saying, “hard pass” and now the XYZABCQIRE guy saying “full stop.” What language are they speaking? Has AOC been giving them linguistic lessons? I’m sure I wouldn’t waste a vote on anyone who thinks it’s cute to talk like a hipster or whatever it is besides disgusting as is the speaker.
I see lots of tragic boating accidents in the future.
Yep - they all do it - it happens “every day” or “every week” or we have an “epidemic” - they are incapable of speaking the truth and it’s so sad because there are actually people who believe what they say.
I heard that nitwit from CA (which one you ask?) on TV today and he was talking about Barr “lying to Congress” and totally twisted what went on and refused to say that the only objection Mueller had to Barr’s summary was the way the MEDIA REPORTED IT..That’s what they call a lie and they are lying when they say it.
It was on FOX this morning and Jon Scott was asking him the questions after showing some of Bill Hemmer’s interview with Barr in El Salvador. He came so close to pinning him down on his evasion of the truth but just couldn’t pull it off. None of them ever do when it should be so evident that that’s what is needed!
You couldn’t have paid that idiot to tell the truth - Ra Hanna or something like that! Bay area, I believe - of course!
I agree. People should be punished for what they DO not what they say or think.
The punishment for whacking someone because you don't like their shirt should be the same as doing the same thing because someone is gay.
How hateful.
Well, I hate everybody except Conservatives; so does that constitute a hate crime in their books?
My hatred for humanity is universal; it does not discriminate in any way based on race, religion, country of origin, skin color, height, or weight.
One other thing, I really hate LIB/PROG/PERV/COMMIE/SOCIALIST/DEM pigs, so I guess I’m screwed.
If they get this, then expect to quickly follow:
Any profession of Christian morality will make one guilty of a misdemeanor so-called hate crime.
how can you possibly lose your rights? They are given to you by GOD.
Since most of the mass shooters are lefties, shouldn’t the Democrat loophole be more effective?
