Expressing support for the designation of June 21, 2026, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day to promote children's health and secure storage of guns in the home.

This resolution expresses strong support for designating June 21, 2026, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day . The primary goal is to promote children's health and safety by emphasizing the critical importance of secure storage of guns in the home . The resolution highlights that firearm-related deaths are the leading cause of death among U.S. children, with many living in homes containing loaded and unlocked firearms. It notes that guns used in youth suicides, accidental shootings, and school incidents often originate from the child's or a family member's home and were improperly stored. To address this, the resolution encourages parents to adopt the ASK Campaign's practice of inquiring about gun presence and storage before their children visit other homes. Furthermore, it urges public health, medical, and other professionals to discuss gun ownership, safety, and secure storage practices with their patients and the guardians of minors. By supporting National ASK Day, the House of Representatives aims to raise awareness and implement a proven effective preventative safety measure, ultimately preventing incidents of family fire and saving children's lives.
