The Senate would designate June 6, 2025 as National Gun Violence Awareness Day and June 2025 as National Gun Violence Awareness Month. The resolution cites that nearly 46,000 people are killed and 97,000 wounded by gunfire each year in the U.S., including more than 4,300 children and teens. It also notes that more Americans have died from guns since 1968 than on the battlefields of all U.S. wars combined. The resolution calls on Americans to wear orange, raise awareness — especially during summer months when gun violence typically spikes — and bring community leaders together to discuss safety.
