A New Bill Would Ban Anyone Convicted of a Hate Crime From Owning A Gun
thetrace.org
Democratic Representative David Cicilline of Rhode Island unveiled a new proposal Wednesday that would bar those convicted of hate crimes from possessing or buying firearms. Cicilline hailed the legislation as an effort to close what he calls the “hate crime loophole.”... experts who track hate groups had raised flags about the simultaneous rise in the supply of guns and right-wing extremism following Barack Obama’s election to the White House had stirred concerns within the Department of Homeland Security.
Only Minnesota, Oregon, and New Jersey explicitly prohibit those convicted of hate crime misdemeanors from owning guns. The Cicilline bill would implement those state-level prohibitions at the federal level. (Maryland, Delaware, and Massachusetts have laws addressing hate crimes and gun ownership, but their policies only apply to certain types of misdemeanor hate crimes.)
