This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' profound concern regarding the deadly intersection of firearm violence and intimate partner violence, honoring victims like Gladys Ricart and others. It recognizes that firearms are used in nearly 66 percent of cases where women are killed by intimate partners, with an American woman killed by a current or former partner approximately every 12 hours. The resolution highlights the disproportionate impact on Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic women, who face significantly higher risks of fatal shootings by intimate partners. The House commends domestic violence victim advocates, service providers, crisis hotline staff, and first responders for their compassionate support of survivors. Furthermore, it pledges to fund comprehensive research into this critical nexus, specifically examining its impact on these vulnerable communities. The resolution also conveys the sense of the House that Congress should take decisive action to address this issue. It calls for strengthening the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to prevent firearms from falling into prohibited hands. Congress is urged to restrict firearm access for all individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders and to continue supporting programs that assist survivors, hold perpetrators accountable, and work to end domestic violence. Additionally, the resolution advocates for supporting local relinquishment processes to ensure compliance with federal firearm prohibitions in domestic violence cases. Finally, it recommends the immediate consideration of specific legislation, including H.R. 4166, the Strengthening Protections for Domestic Violence and Stalking Survivors Act of 2025, and H.R. 18, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2025, alongside other relevant bills aimed at reducing firearm and intimate partner violence.
