SRES 777 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution keeping guns out of classrooms.

This resolution (SRES 777) states the Senate's position that federal funds should not be used to arm school personnel with firearms or provide them with firearms training. It reaffirms existing federal restrictions, such as those in the STOP School Violence Act (2018) and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (2022), which already prohibit using federal education funds for such purposes. The resolution cites research showing armed school personnel failed to stop active shooters in 223 of 225 incidents and notes opposition from teacher unions and safety studies. It does not create new law but formally endorses current funding limitations on school firearm programs.
