Referred to the House Committee on Small Business.
H.Res. 622 is a symbolic resolution that honors small firearm manufacturers in the United States and declares August 2025 as "National Shooting Sports Month." The resolution recognizes that small firearms manufacturers—producers of handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, and accessories—contribute significantly to the economy, supporting approximately 380,000 jobs and generating over $91 billion in annual economic output, while also serving as anchors in rural and small-town communities. The resolution celebrates shooting sports traditions such as hunting, target shooting, and competitive marksmanship as long-established American pastimes enjoyed by millions of citizens, and notes that these activities promote safe firearm handling and outdoor stewardship. The House of Representatives pledges to celebrate small firearm manufacturers' role in domestic manufacturing, support policies that help these businesses innovate and grow, and officially recognize the designated shooting sports month. Since this is a resolution rather than legislation that becomes law, it carries no funding requirements or legal mandates—it serves purely as an expression of congressional recognition and support.
