Condemning the tragic act of gun violence on July 28, 2025, in New York City that led to one of the deadliest mass shootings in the city's history, and calling for stronger, comprehensive Federal action to prevent gun violence nationwide.

This is a House Resolution (H. Res. 656) introduced in the 119th Congress that condemns the July 28, 2025 mass shooting in a New York City office building and calls for stronger, comprehensive federal action to prevent gun violence nationwide. The measure memorializes the victims, honors first responders, and emphasizes concerns about cross-state gun trafficking and the patchwork of state gun laws that can undermine public safety. It advocates for federal steps such as universal background checks, banning weapons of war, and red-flag (extreme-risk) laws, arguing that Congress has the power and responsibility to enact uniform gun-safety measures. Importantly, this is a resolution expressing Congress’s views and urging action; it does not in itself create or fund policy.
