Key Points

This resolution asks the Senate to officially recognize June 2025 as a time to focus on gun violence. It specifically names June 6, 2025, as a day for people to remember victims and talk about gun safety.
The resolution encourages Americans to wear orange on June 6. This color is chosen because it is what hunters wear to stay safe and visible. It serves as a tribute to victims like Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old who was killed in a park in 2013.
The document shares several statistics about the impact of guns in America. It notes that nearly 46,000 people are killed by gunfire every year, including many deaths from suicide and accidents involving children.
The goal is to bring community leaders and neighbors together to find ways to make neighborhoods safer. Supporters want to focus on this issue during the summer months when gun violence often increases across the country.
