Sen. Daniel Squadron (D-Manhattan). (Photo: NYSenate.go<\/a><\/em>v)<\/p><\/div>\n

A New York lawmaker has introduced a bill that would revoke gun rights from hate crime offenders, even those with misdemeanor offenses.<\/p>\n

Before we get to the meat of the matter, the FBI defines a hate crime<\/a> as a \u201ccriminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender\u2019s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the FBI makes it clear that \u201chate itself is not a crime,\u201d noting further that the agency is \u201cmindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Sen. Daniel Squadron (D-Manhattan), the author of the bill known as Senate Bill S5569<\/a>, hate crimes are on the rise in New York since the election of President Trump.<\/p>\n

Since the majority of hate crimes are of the misdemeanor level, those individuals do not lose their 2A rights. Under New York law, only those individuals convicted of a \u201cserious offense\u201d will lose their 2A rights.<\/p>\n

Sen. Squadron\u2019s bill would add hate crimes to the list of \u201cserious offenses\u201d that prohibit an individual from keeping and bearing arms.<\/p>\n

The example he gave The New York Daily News<\/a> was spray painting a swastika on a synagogue wall. Under current law, that hate crime wouldn\u2019t lead to the revocation of the offender\u2019s 2A rights. If SB s5569 were to pass, it would.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York has a duty to take actions that reject acts of bigotry, hatred, misogyny, homophobia, racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and discrimination in any form because they violate the nation’s core values,\u201d said Squadron in the bill memo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllowing those who commit and are convicted of hate crimes to possess guns only gives them a fatal tool to spread their hate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Squadron cited the Center for American Progress which claims that Minnesota, Oregon, and New Jersey, among three other states, have similar laws on the books.<\/p>\n

At least one gun rights advocate was quick to point out the redundancy of the bill.<\/p>\n

“If a Hate Crime is serious or violent, laws already on the books would prohibit the offender from owning a firearm,” said Alan Gottlieb, executive vice president of the Second Amendment foundation, in an email to GunsAmerica.<\/p>\n

“Liberal anti-gun fanatics want to make everything they don’t agree with a hate crime. Some even want to make owning a firearm a hate crime,” Gottlieb added.<\/p>\n

The bill currently sits in a state Senate committee. \u00a0There is a companion bill also in the Assembly sponsored by Assemblyman Charles Lavine (D-North Shore Long Island).<\/p>\n

If passed, the bill \u201cshall take effect on the first of November next succeeding the date on which it shall have become law.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
