Condemning the tragic act of gun violence on July 28, 2025, in New York City that led to one of the deadliest mass shootings in the city's history, and calling for stronger, comprehensive Federal action to prevent gun violence nationwide.

HRES 656 is a symbolic resolution condemning a July 28, 2025, mass shooting in New York City that killed four people, including an NYPD officer, and injuring others. It specifically references the shooter using weapons legal in Nevada but banned in New York, citing how out-of-state gun trafficking undermines safety in states with stronger laws. The resolution calls for comprehensive federal gun safety legislation but does not propose new laws or policy changes. It serves as a formal statement of condemnation and a request for congressional action, not a binding legislative measure.
