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. It highlights how these businesses serve as anchors in rural and small-town communities. The resolution notes that these manufacturers support 380,000 jobs and contribute over $91,000,000,000 in annual economic output. 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."
