Expressing support for the designation of September 9, 2025, as "National Firearm Suicide Prevention Day" to educate about the growing firearm suicide crisis in the United States and promote the importance of storing firearms safely and securely as an essential component of suicide prevention.
HRES 684 is a non-binding House resolution designating September 9, 2025, as "National Firearm Suicide Prevention Day." It aims to raise public awareness about firearm suicide statistics (including that firearms were used in 55% of U.S. suicides in 2023) and promote safe firearm storage as a key suicide prevention strategy. The resolution encourages health professionals to discuss safe storage with patients and supports existing awareness efforts led by organizations like Brady and End Family Fire. It directly affects the public and healthcare providers by emphasizing evidence-based prevention practices, not by creating new laws.
