H. Res. 514 is a non-binding House resolution commemorating the 9th anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida (June 12, 2016). It honors the memory of the victims (listed by name in the resolution), offers condolences to their families, and acknowledges the bravery and coordinated response of local, state, and federal law enforcement and emergency personnel. The resolution emphasizes unity across race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and politics in confronting terrorism and hate, and it states that Congress must continue to pursue gun safety and mental health legislation. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create or change law. It references existing actions aimed at gun violence reduction, including executive actions by the President and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (Public Law 117-159), and it notes the resolution’s referral to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
