Summary

This resolution expresses support for designating June 21, 2025, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day . The primary goal of this designation is to promote children's health and advocate for the secure storage of firearms within homes. It encourages parents to proactively ask about gun presence and storage practices in other households their children may visit, emphasizing that this simple question can prevent injuries and deaths. The resolution highlights that firearm-related deaths are a leading cause of death among U.S. children, with many living in homes containing loaded and unlocked guns. It encourages public health and medical professionals to discuss gun ownership and safe storage with patients and guardians. The ASK Campaign, validated as effective by a Government Accountability Office report, aims to raise awareness about secure gun storage as a crucial preventative safety measure.
