HERITAGE OF THE UNITED STATES AND RECOGNIZING THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2026
AS “NATIONAL SHOOTING SPORTS MONTH”
Mr. RISCH (for himself and Mrs. Shaheen) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation:
S. Res. 826
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”.
