A resolution honoring the contributions of small manufacturers of firearms to the economy, culture, and recreational heritage of the United States and recognizing August 2025 as "National Shooting Sports Month".

This is a Senate resolution (S. Res. 342) introduced in the 119th Congress that honors small manufacturers of firearms and their role in the U.S. economy, culture, and recreational heritage. It acknowledges the economic and community contributions of small firearms makers—describing them as the backbone of the shooting sports community and important to rural and small-town areas. The resolution also designates August 2025 as “National Shooting Sports Month” and expresses support for policies that help these small businesses innovate, grow, and preserve shooting traditions. It is a non-binding, symbolic statement rather than a bill that would authorize spending or create new regulations. The resolution was introduced in the Senate on July 29, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. It does not specify a sponsor in this text beyond the listed cosponsors, and it does not enact new laws; rather, it expresses the Senate’s recognition and policy preferences.
