House would call gun violence a public health crisis and urge more CDC research — changes no law on its own
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. The House would declare gun violence a public health crisis in the United States. It changes no gun law, spends no money, and orders no one to act. A House resolution like this one is a statement of view, not a law. The resolution asks the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to keep studying gun violence and to collect more data on it. It asks the Surgeon General to write a report on gun injuries and how to prevent them. It also backs the cities and states that have made the same declaration. The text cites gun deaths and mass shootings, including that guns are now the leading cause of death for children. It notes that a 2024 Surgeon General advisory on gun violence was taken off a federal website in March 2025.
Congressional Summary
This resolution declares gun violence to be a public health crisis. It also urges the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to expand research and data collection on preventing gun violence and the Surgeon General to report on firearm injuries and violence prevention.
