## Summary

**Expands federal gun prohibitions to people convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes.** The bill bars federal sale, transfer, possession, shipment, and transport of firearms for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime or given an enhanced hate-crime misdemeanor sentence. The Impact: - Qualifying convictions must be misdemeanors under Federal, State, or tribal law and must be motivated by bias against race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability and involve force, a threatened deadly weapon, or another credible threat to physical safety. - Federal firearm sellers, dealers, and transfer processes will have these convictions added to the list of prohibited recipients, affecting sales, transfers, and shipments under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44. - Some convictions will not trigger the firearms ban. A conviction counts only if the defendant had counsel or knowingly waived counsel and either had a jury trial when entitled or knowingly waived a jury. Expunged, set aside, or pardoned convictions and restored civil rights generally remove the disqualification unless the restoration specifically preserves a firearms ban.
