Guns
Hate speech has become more deadly due to the easy availability of firearms. White supremacists use guns to intimidate, threaten and attack political opponents. Armed opposition is a hallmark of hate groups and civilian paramilitary groups. By disarming these groups with guns, the public will no longer feel threatened by these violent, ideological, and racial extremists.
Hate
Jason Hayes, an LGBTQ member from New Jersey, organized last year a national rally against gun violence to protect LGBTQ civil rights. The rally, called DISARM HATES, attracted nine people from Los Angeles to support Jason's cause. This bill, which is a companion bill for the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, is now back in Congress. 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 is dependent on existing state laws on hate crimes, but it would also prohibit individuals convicted of these crimes from purchasing guns. The Disarm Hate Act would also require background checks of potential gun buyers. This is an already required requirement by the FBI.
Extreme risk laws
To prevent mass shootings and gun homicide, extreme risk laws were made. This type of law grants petitioners the right to ask a judge to temporarily take a gun from a potentially dangerous person. While these laws aren’t widely applicable, some states have begun to apply them. These laws can be used to prevent mass shootings and gun-homicides in certain cases. Below are some examples.
Pulse nightclub shooting
The Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, has inspired a new documentary, Disarm Hate, that follows nine LGBTQ people in a national rally to end gun violence and protect LGBTQ civil rights. Harvey Fierstein tells the story. In the film, activists fight the NRA while fighting for gun reform. They challenge America's obsession about gun violence. Here's a look.
Sandy Hook Promise
Many groups, including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (Gays Against Guns), CeaseFire PA (CeaseFire PA), and Generation Progress Fund, have endorsed Sandy Hook Promise to Disarm Hate Act. This legislation was created in response to last year's Pulse nightclub massacre, which claimed 49 lives. It died in committee. This year, after the tragic anniversary of Pulse, Sen. Casey has reintroduced the bill. While the Disarm Hate Act is a far way from being enacted, community members can take steps to further advance it.
National Coalition to End Gun Violence
The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is an advocacy organization dedicated to reducing gun violence in the United States. The Coalition consists of 47 member organizations that engage in public education, policy work, and advocacy on gun violence issues. Its affiliate organization, The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence focuses on educational efforts.

Anti-Defamation League
The Anti-Defamation League's (ADL), history is strong in fighting hate and extremeism across the globe. It has often brought attention to violent incidents involving white-supremacists such as the attack on the Chabad Of Poway synagogue at Poway, California. It has partnered up with the U.S. over the past few years to fight antisemitism in Israel as well as the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to train law enforcement officers. ADL was also a key participant in the White House Conference on Hate Crime. This led to enhanced community partnerships and law enforcement authorities.

How to hunt wild hogs
Wild hogs are large animals found in North America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Wild hogs feed on vegetation and small animals such a rabbits or mice, birds, insects, and fish. They feed mostly at night. After six months of gestation, one piglet is born. A sow can give birth once every two years. Wild hogs are solitary animals, although they sometimes live together in groups called herds.
Wild boars weigh in at around 200 pounds (90 kg). Their head length is between 10 and 12 inches (25-30cm), while their body length is between 20 and 30 inches (50-60cm). Wild pigs tend to have long legs, wide shoulders, and short tails. They have a thick layer under their skin of fat.
They have a very strong sense of smell, hearing, and sight. They use their senses to identify danger and find food. They can run up 35 miles per hour (56 km/h), as well as jump up to 15ft (4m) distances. They are very sharp with their teeth and claws. They are very aggressive when protecting themselves from predators.
Hunting wild hogs are difficult because they are fast, intelligent, and elusive. Hunting wild animals requires precision and careful stalking. Hunting too soon can cause the animal to escape. If hunters are too late, the animal might die before it reaches shelter.
Wild hogs can be killed using many hunting methods. The most common method of killing wild hogs is to shoot. This involves hunting the animal down and waiting for it to come within range. Another method is trapping. The trapping method involves placing traps close to water sources that the hogs can drink. The traps are often equipped with a scent lure that includes peanut butter mixed with corn meal. When the trap is opened, the hunter shoots a trapped pig.
Snaring is another option. Snaring involves using a noose made of rope to catch the porc. It works best when the pigs are caught during their mating season.
Other methods include poisoning, spearing and netting. Netting and spearing involve placing a net or spear through the pig's neck to stop its breathing. Poisoning refers to injecting poison in the pig's neck.
Hunting wild hogs is a challenging sport. Hunters should be prepared for winter. In some areas, hunters wear snowshoes to keep warm. Hunting dogs may be used to track animals.
