H.Res. 1382 is a resolution expressing the House of Representatives' view that all Americans should resolve their political disagreements without resorting to threats or violence. The resolution notes a steady increase in political violence over the past decade, citing specific incidents including the 2011 shooting of Representative Gabby Giffords, the 2017 attack on Republican members of Congress, and the 2024 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. The resolution emphasizes that threats against election officials, judges, and lawmakers have increased nearly tenfold since 2016 and warns that such violence threatens democracy itself. The resolution calls on political leaders from both parties at all levels of government to consistently and frequently condemn political violence. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding, timeline, or direct legal effect, but it represents a congressional statement supporting civil discourse and opposing political violence.
