Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution honors the contributions of small firearms manufacturers to the United States economy, culture, and recreational heritage.

Additionally, it recognizes the importance of shooting sports for law-abiding citizens. Finally, the House intends to recognize August 2026 as "National Shooting Sports Month."
