Bill > HRes373

This Resolution expresses support for designating June 2017 as "National Gun Violence Awareness Month" and urges Congress to take action to address gun violence by enacting specific legislation. The proposed laws include the Gun Trafficking Prevention Act (H.R. 1475) to curb illegal firearm sales, the Gun Violence Research Act of 2017 (H.R. 1478) to fund studies on the causes and effects of gun violence, and the Gun Show Loophole Closing Act of 2017 (H.R. 1612) which would require background checks for gun purchases at gun shows, a practice currently not universally mandated. Additionally, the Resolution calls for legislation to ban assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines, referencing historical data on gun violence in the United States and the impact of previous gun control measures.
