Evidence
GovInfo lists H.R. 8059 as introduced in the House on March 24, 2026. The action line says Mr. Min, for himself and Mr. Bell plus other cosponsors, introduced the bill and it was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Ways and Means. The bill would require serialization of certain firearms and establish penalties.
Congress.gov shows Bell as an original cosponsor on H.R. 7591, a bill to require local educational agencies to distribute firearm-safety guidance. The page lists Bell among the cosponsors and shows the bill was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Assessments
Bell has taken concrete same-term legislative action supporting gun reform, including cosponsoring bills on firearm serialization and firearm-safety guidance. However, the evidence shows these bills were only introduced and referred to committees, with no enacted federal reform or delivered policy outcome. Because the promise was to support gun reform and he made serious legislative attempts but has not delivered an enacted outcome, this is best scored as not yet fulfilled with effort credit.
