1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Resources for Victims of Gun Violence Act of 2019 . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) In the United States, approximately 100 individuals are killed with guns every day, and more than 36,000 individuals die from gun violence every year. Approximately 100,000 more individuals survive gun-related injuries every year. (2) The approximately 100,000 individuals who survive gun-related injuries every year in the United States face a lifelong process of physical and emotional healing, in addition to the heavy economic costs faced by those survivors, their families and communities, and society as a whole. According to a recent national poll, 4 percent of adults alive in the United States as of the date of the poll, or an estimated 10,000,000 people, have been shot and injured in their lifetimes. (3) Nearly two-thirds of gun-related deaths in the United States are suicides. Suicide attempts involving firearms are uniquely lethal: while less than 5 percent of suicide attempts not involving a firearm result in death, approximately 85 percent of suicide attempts involving a firearm end in death. According to a 2018 report by the Department of Veterans Affairs, veterans are about 1.5 times as likely as civilians to die by suicide, and 69.4 percent of veteran suicides in 2016 resulted from a firearm injury. (4) More than one-third of gun-related deaths in the United States are homicides, and in 2010, the gun homicide rate in the United States was 25.2 times higher than in 22 other high-income countries. (5) Gun homicides in the United States occur disproportionately in cities, particularly in racially segregated neighborhoods with high rates of poverty. Gun homicide disproportionately affects communities of color, and Black Americans represent the majority of gun homicide victims. (6) More than 325 mass shootings took place in the United States in 2018, and more than 1,900 mass shootings have taken place since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
