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.

I have “TRUMP 45” Vanity Plates on my Car.
If a Liberal decides to Key my Car because he hates Trump and Hates me for supporting Trump, is he Guilty of a Hate Crime or am I Guilty of a Hate Crime for inciting his Hate?
It’s so confusing.
The moron Casey should propose banning muzzie immigration to the U.S.
I think this is the first time he’s proposed to do anything aside from voting lock step with the Communists since he won his seat.
I’m sure he’ll ramble on about something else come election time. He is lazy garbage living off his father’s name.
Gun control isn’t an election winning topic here in PA, but it won’t matter. This dung heap will get reelected just because he’s a Casey.
Political Vaudeville staged on the caskets of the victims.
Sick sick sick.
Misdemeanor Hate Crime is anything the left does not like. It effectively guts the First Amendment. Say anything a liberal finds offensive (which is anything that a liberal disapproves of) and there you have your Misdemeanor Hate Crime.
Murphy would also need a PA GOP with a spine to back him. They seem content maintaining the status quo. If they’d actually get something resembling strategy, they could shift this state to at least 50\50 much like the Dems shifted NC.
Ah, yes, Little Bobby Casey, the stupidest man ever to serve in the United States Senate.
its awful funny the bilderbergs had this meeting then we have a mass shooting....the NWO wants ur guns ...i think it was all planned
That line may play on CNN but not on the street. I guarantee you, the majority of the 1,625 shootings in Chicago last year were done with guns bought illegally on the street.
Also propose all gasoline stop being sold to stop drunk driving deaths. Cop-out going after inanimate objects instead of face-to-face, toe-to-toe with someone that will punch your face in. Coward.
Good. This empty suit liberal, running on his dead daddy’s name, needs to attach his lameness to something. let this be it.
