Expressing support for the designation of June 21, 2026, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day to promote children's health and secure storage of guns in the home.

Key Points

• This resolution supports naming June 21, 2026, as National ASK Day. The name stands for Asking Saves Kids. It encourages parents to ask if there are guns in the homes where their children play and if those guns are stored safely.
• The proposal points out that millions of children live in homes with loaded and unlocked guns. Most guns used in accidental shootings or suicides involving young people are found in the home of a relative or friend.
• It asks doctors and health experts to talk with parents about keeping firearms locked and unloaded. This effort aims to prevent family fire, which happens when a child gets a hold of a gun that was not put away properly.
• June 21 was picked because it is the first day of summer. This is the time of year when children are most likely to visit friends and spend time in other people's homes.
