Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses congressional support for designating June 21, 2025, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day, a public health initiative aimed at preventing child injuries and deaths from firearms. The bill encourages parents to ask two simple questions before their children visit other homes: "Is there a gun in your house?" and "Is it locked and unloaded?" The resolution highlights that firearm-related deaths are now the leading cause of death among U.S. children, with approximately 4.6 million children living in homes with loaded and unlocked guns, and notes that the ASK Campaign—established with the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2000—is the only nationally evaluated program proven effective at promoting gun safety. The resolution encourages healthcare professionals and others to discuss gun safety and secure storage with families and supports the broader goals of raising awareness about safe firearm storage as a preventative measure. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or regulatory requirements.
