Referred to the House Committee on Small Business.
This resolution honors small firearms manufacturers and their contributions to the American economy and culture. The measure recognizes that small businesses manufacturing handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, and accessories support approximately 380,000 jobs across the broader firearms industry and generate over $91 billion in annual economic output, particularly in rural and small-town communities. The resolution celebrates shooting sports traditions including hunting, target shooting, and competitive marksmanship as time-honored recreational activities enjoyed by millions of Americans. The House of Representatives expresses support for policies that enable these small manufacturers to innovate and grow while preserving recreational shooting traditions. The resolution designates August 2026 as National Shooting Sports Month but contains no funding or enforcement mechanisms, as it is a ceremonial expression of congressional recognition.
