This concurrent resolution recognizes the importance of reducing gun violence and strengthening public safety as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding, but rather expresses Congress's sense that preventing gun violence should be a national priority. It honors those lost to gun violence, acknowledges that the United States leads the world in gun deaths with an average of 125 people killed daily, and commends efforts by law enforcement, public health professionals, and community leaders working to prevent violence. The resolution supports evidence-based approaches including background checks, community violence intervention programs, improved data collection by law enforcement, and victim services, while affirming that public safety policies should uphold constitutional rights. The measure was introduced in June 2026 by a bipartisan group of senators and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
