This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating June 6, 2025, as "National Gun Violence Awareness Day" and June 2025 as "National Gun Violence Awareness Month" . The primary goal is to raise public consciousness regarding the pervasive issue of gun violence and promote gun safety across the United States. The resolution highlights the significant impact of gun violence, citing statistics such as nearly 46,000 individuals killed and 97,000 wounded by gunfire annually, including thousands of children and veterans. It specifically calls upon the people of the United States to engage in several activities to support these designations. This includes promoting greater awareness of gun violence and gun safety, and wearing orange on "National Gun Violence Awareness Day" in remembrance of victims like Hadiya Pendleton. Furthermore, the resolution urges a heightened focus on gun violence during the summer months, when incidents typically increase, and advocates for bringing community members and leaders together to discuss ways to enhance community safety. The resolution underscores the tragic human cost, noting that more individuals have died from guns in the U.S. since 1968 than in all its wars combined.
