Whereas Kentucky law generally allows people to carry loaded 
handguns in public spaces without a permit, without any 
background check, and without training since 2019; 
Whereas States with weaker laws regulating the carrying of 
firearms in public places are more likely to experience 
workplace shootings, and a 2019 study in the American 
Journal of Public Health found that States with weak or 
no regulations on concealed carry had 29 percent higher 
rates of workplace homicides committed with firearms; 
Whereas, according to the nonprofit organization, Giffords 
Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, from 2017 to 
2021, at least 1,756 workers were murdered with guns 
on the job; 
Whereas gun violence is a daily epidemic that plagues com-
munities across our Nation; and 
Whereas the people of the United States will always remem-
ber the victims of these shootings, stand in solidarity 
with those affected by these unconscionable tragedies, 
and fight to prevent all gun violence across the country: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns the horrific acts of gun violence 
that led to the tragic loss of 5 lives in Louisville, 
Kentucky, at the Old National Bank building on 
April 10, 2023;
