AI Summary

This Resolution expresses support for designating June as National Gun Violence Awareness Month and urges Congress to enact legislation to address gun violence. The resolution highlights the significant impact of gun violence in the United States, citing statistics on injuries, deaths, and the disproportionate effect on young people, as well as its connection to suicides and homicides. It references past legislative successes, such as the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the ban on assault weapons, and calls for renewed action by Congress. Specifically, it advocates for measures including banning assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines, requiring universal background checks for all gun sales and ammunition purchases, closing loopholes in background checks for firearms dealers, implementing red flag restraining orders to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a risk, banning bump stocks, preventing gun trafficking, and protecting victims of domestic abuse and stalking from gun violence.
