Expressing support for the designation of September 9, 2025, as "National Firearm Suicide Prevention Day" to educate about the growing firearm suicide crisis in the United States and promote the importance of storing firearms safely and securely as an essential component of suicide prevention.

This resolution advocates for the designation of September 9, 2025, as "National Firearm Suicide Prevention Day." The primary goal is to raise awareness about the significant firearm suicide crisis affecting the United States and to underscore the importance of safe and secure firearm storage as a vital strategy for suicide prevention. The resolution highlights that firearms are the deadliest method of suicide, with easy access tripling the risk, and notes that 74 individuals die by firearm suicide daily. The resolution further emphasizes that simply storing firearms safely is a known factor in reducing the likelihood of gun owners dying by firearm suicide, with potential to prevent a substantial number of youth gun deaths. It points out that many children live in homes with unlocked or unsupervised guns, contributing to this risk. The resolution encourages public health, medical, and other professionals to engage in discussions with patients about gun ownership, gun safety, safe storage practices, and suicide prevention, aligning with the overall objectives of the designated day.
