Gun Violence Awareness Grant Act of 2026

To designate June 5, 2026, as 'National Gun Violence Awareness Day' and June 2026 as 'National Gun Violence Awareness Month' to raise public awareness about gun violence and promote efforts to reduce it.

Bipartisan rationale: Honors Democratic priorities: raises public awareness about gun violence and funds community-based prevention. Honors Republican priorities: respects state autonomy through voluntary participation, protects Second Amendment rights by prohibiting use of funds for firearm restrictions, and limits federal spending with a sunset and strict oversight.

Funding: General fund of the United States Treasury $10 million per fiscal year Sunset 5y Oversight: Department of Health and Human Enforcement: Recoupment of funds if used for proh

Vote-count path: ~250 House votes: 180 Democrats + 70 Republicans from moderate and rural districts; ~60 Senate votes: 48 Democrats + 12 Republicans from states with strong federalism and oversight concerns.
