Dems adopt new tactic for gun confiscation1 misdemeanor can result in losing 2nd Amendment right in 6 statesPublished: 04/27/2017 Updated: 04/28/2017 at 11:50 PM, Leo Hohmann Democrats have come up with a creative way of selectively confiscating guns from certain residents, and several Second Amendment watchdogs say the strategy could soon be coming to a state near you. A state legislator from Manhattan has introduced a bill that would nullify gun rights from those convicted of hate crimes, even those involving nonviolent, misdemeanor offenses. If successful, New York would become the seventh state to implement such a law. The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” But, as Guns America News and Reviews reminds New Yorkers, the FBI makes it clear that “hate itself is not a crime” and that the agency is “mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.” Since the vast majority of hate crimes fall into the misdemeanor category, those offenders do not lose their Second Amendment rights. www.wnd.com/2017/04/dems-adopt-new-tactic-for-gun-confiscation/
