Honoring the contributions of small manufacturers of firearms to the economy, culture, and recreational heritage of the United States and recognizing the month of August 2026 as “National Shooting Sports Month”.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

July 30, 2026

Mr. Risch (for himself and Mrs. Shaheen) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation

RESOLUTION

Honoring the contributions of small manufacturers of firearms to the economy, culture, and recreational heritage of the United States and recognizing the month of August 2026 as “National Shooting Sports Month”.

    Whereas locally owned and operated small businesses that manufacture handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, and accessories (referred to in this preamble as “small manufacturers of firearms”) are the backbone of the shooting sports community and a critical part of the manufacturing of the United States;

    Whereas small manufacturers of firearms of the United States serve as anchors in rural and small-town communities across the United States, preserving the craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, and innovation of the United States;

    Whereas small manufacturers of firearms contribute significantly to the national economy and local economies, forming an essential part of a broader industry that supports 380,000 jobs and generates more than $91,000,000,000 in annual economic output;

    Whereas small manufacturers of firearms are essential conduits for the exercise of Second Amendment rights by individuals in the United States and provide products, training, and community engagement to sportsmen in the United States;

    Whereas shooting sports, including target shooting, hunting, and competitive marksmanship, are time-honored traditions in the United States and are enjoyed by millions of law-abiding citizens;

    Whereas shooting sports promote safe and responsible firearm handling, outdoor stewardship, and civic engagement through local clubs, ranges, and competitions; and

    Whereas small manufacturers of firearms in the United States play an indispensable role in preserving those recreational traditions: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved,

That the Senate—

(1) celebrates the role of small businesses that manufacture firearms in supporting domestic manufacturing and economic opportunity in communities across the United States;

(2) supports policies that strengthen the ability of small businesses to innovate, grow, and preserve the recreational shooting traditions of the United States; and

(3) recognizes the month of August 2026 as “National Shooting Sports Month”.
