Coons was named as a cosponsor of S. 1026 in the 118th Congress, a bill whose stated purpose was to authorize appropriations for CDC research on firearms safety and gun violence prevention. Because the promise was to introduce and support such legislation, not necessarily secure enactment or appropriated funds, this satisfies the promised action during his current Senate term.
