PITTSBURGH — U.S. Sen. Bob Casey has unveiled legislation that would ban gun sales to those who commit misdemeanor hate crimes.

Casey was joined at a press conference Monday morning in Pittsburgh by Mayor Bill Peduto for the announcement.

“We may not be able to extinguish all hate, but we can take action to limit the damage so we don’t have to have these types of press conferences in the future,” Peduto said.

The Hate Crimes Prevention Act denies the use of a gun to anyone who has been convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime under federal, state or tribal law who are found to be motivated by hate or bias against a victim's race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.

“That’s going to prevent you from getting a weapon you can use to continue your hate,” Casey said.

Between 2010 and 2014, more than 43,000 hate crimes were committed with firearms in the U.S., according to Casey.

So, loss of constitutional right for a misdemeanor.
Can they take away voting rights for a misdemeanor?
Oh wait, the Rats want felons with felony convictions to vote.

For a conservative to upend Casey he would have to basically run the state against Philly. Which Tim Murphy could do, if he could get his mind around (or out of the way of) the NRA.

LOL. who defines what a hate crime is?

is it a hate crime when a fag goes on a twitter rant against Christians?

is it a hate crime when a Black Lives Matter agitator goes on Facebook to urge people to shoot cops?

is it a hate crime when a La Raza lawyer campaigns to have California returned to Mexico and all people of European descent shipped back to Europe?

is it a hate crime when an ugly feminist writes an article insisting that all men are rapists and women should emasculate men with their teeth?

let’s be serious.

there is no such thing as a hate crime. hate crimes are just doublespeak for thought crimes.

i really hope the cultural marxists push this issue too far. we could use a 1984-esque butt kicking of the D’s on election day.

Casey is an utter POS who represent a few zip codes in Philadelphia

Unfortunately there are enough seniors who will still vote for "our Bobby" because they think the father rubbed off on the son.

Wouldn’t it be easier for this Moron to propose converting all Misdemeanors into Felonies?

Then Terry McAuliffe can vacate those Laws too..

The Muslim attack in Orlando could have been accomplished the same way.
