Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the relationship between firearm violence and intimate partner violence and to honor the memory of Gladys Ricart and other victims of intimate partner homicide killed by firearms, and for other purposes.

HRES 798 is a symbolic House resolution expressing the sense of Congress about the link between firearm violence and intimate partner violence, honoring victims like Gladys Ricart. It cites statistics showing firearms are used in 59% of intimate partner homicides, with women facing a 5x higher risk of being killed when an abusive partner has access to a gun. The resolution recommends specific policy actions, including strengthening background checks, restricting firearm access for those subject to domestic violence restraining orders, and supporting research on the disproportionate impact on Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hispanic women. It does not create new law but urges Congress to advance related legislation like the Zero Tolerance for Domestic Abusers Act. The resolution directly addresses the intersection of firearms and intimate partner violence affecting millions of women, particularly in marginalized communities.
