S.Con.Res.25 - A concurrent resolution recognizing the 15th anniversary of the January 8, 2011, Tucson, Arizona, shooting and honoring the survivors and victims, including former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, a gun violence survivor and one of the most influential voices of courage in the United States in the fight to end gun violence.
This resolution recognizes the 15th anniversary of the January 8, 2011, mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, that killed six people and wounded 13 others, including then-Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, during a public constituent event. The shooting claimed the lives of federal judge John Roll, congressional staffer Gabriel Zimmerman, and 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green, among others. The resolution honors the memory of those killed, supports survivors and their families, and specifically recognizes former Congresswoman Giffords for her courage and ongoing advocacy work to prevent gun violence and promote civility in politics. The measure also commends Tucson residents and first responders for their heroic response and reaffirms Congress's commitment to peaceful dialogue and condemning political violence. As a concurrent resolution, this legislation expresses the sentiment of Congress but does not require presidential approval or provide any funding.
