Latest Action · June 18, 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses congressional support for designating June 21, 2026, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day, a campaign that encourages parents to ask whether guns are present in homes their children visit and whether those guns are locked and unloaded. The resolution highlights that firearm-related deaths are the leading cause of death among U.S. children, with statistics showing that 6.7 million children live in homes with loaded, unlocked guns and that most guns used in youth suicides and accidental shootings were improperly stored. The ASK Campaign, established in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2000 and now administered by the Brady Campaign, has been validated by the Government Accountability Office as the only national program of its kind proven to be effective. The resolution calls on House members to support this designated day and encourages medical and public health professionals to discuss gun safety and secure storage with patients and parents. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or binding requirements, simply expressing support for an awareness campaign aimed at preventing child deaths and injuries from firearms.
