Unlikely to pass
This is a symbolic statement that does not change any laws. While it shows what these lawmakers care about, it is unlikely to get enough support in a divided Congress to pass both chambers.
Key Points
This proposal suggests that the United States should use its 250th birthday in 2026 as a time to focus on stopping gun violence. It points out that there are about 125 gun deaths every day and more guns in the country than there are people.
The plan calls for more support for programs that step in to stop violence before it starts. It also encourages police to use better training and collect more data to help solve crimes and calm down tense situations without violence.
It aims to honor victims and survivors by making public safety a top priority for the future. The resolution says the government has a basic duty to keep its citizens safe and healthy as the country enters its next 250 years.
