This Senate Resolution celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, Inc. (SAAMI) , which was founded in 1926 at the request of the Federal Government. SAAMI's core mission is to create and promulgate technical, performance, interchangeability, and safety standards for firearms, ammunition, suppressors, and components. It serves as a preeminent global resource for the safe and responsible manufacturing, transportation, storage, and use of these products. For a century, SAAMI has coordinated with industry, military, and domestic and international government bodies to establish and maintain consistent safety standards.

Beyond standards, SAAMI contributes to conservation efforts and aims to address new technological challenges, maintaining its standing as a technical expert in the field. The Senate commends SAAMI for its century of leadership, acknowledging its vital role in promoting public safety, scientific rigor, and responsible industry practices.
