This is a non-binding House resolution (H. Res. 523) introduced in the 119th Congress that expresses support for designating June 21, 2025, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day. The measure does not create new law or funding but signals congressional backing for promoting safe gun storage and ongoing conversations about firearm safety. The resolution cites statistics on child firearm injuries and deaths, describes the ASK Campaign’s guidance to ask if there is a gun in the home and whether it is locked and unloaded, and notes the campaign’s history with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and its evaluation as an effective program. It also urges public health and medical professionals to discuss gun safety with patients and guardians and supports the goals of National ASK Day. In short, the bill seeks to elevate awareness and encourage behavior that reduces risks associated with firearms in homes, framed around the ASK Campaign’s recommended talking points and established public health partnerships. It is a symbolic expression of support and does not create new programs or spending.
