Recognizing the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, Inc., and commending its work establishing industry standards that ensure the safe interoperability of firearms and ammunition.

Key Points

• Rep. Harrigan and several other lawmakers introduced a resolution to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, also known as SAAMI.
• SAAMI was started in 1926 at the request of the federal government. Its main job is to create rules that make sure different brands of guns and bullets work together safely and reliably.
• The group works with the military, international organizations, and private companies to set technical standards for firearms, ammunition, and silencers to prevent accidents.
• Beyond safety, the resolution highlights the group's history of supporting wildlife conservation, including funding early research into modern wildlife management.
• This resolution is a ceremonial gesture and does not change any laws or provide new funding. It simply officially recognizes the group's century of work in the industry.
