HRES 1404 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for keeping guns out of classrooms.

This non-binding House resolution expresses the House's support for keeping guns out of schools by stating federal funds should not be used to arm school personnel or provide them firearm training. It references existing laws like the STOP School Violence Act (2018) and research showing arming staff does not improve safety, citing data on failed interventions and disproportionate impacts on students of color. The resolution affirms current policy guidance without creating new legal requirements. It serves as a formal statement of the House's position based on evidence and existing legislative frameworks.
