Eight Senate Democrats have introduced a new bill on Wednesday that would ban guns within 100 yards of any federal election polling location.
Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT) introduced the “Vote Without Fear Act” on Wednesday. In a press statement, Murphy said the bill would “prohibit the possession of a firearm within 100 yards of any federal election site, with exceptions for on-duty law enforcement or security guards.”
Sens. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Bob Casey (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Ed Markey (D-MA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have cosponsored Murphy’s bill.
The legislation comes just over a month before the 2022 mid-term elections
Currently, only six states – Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas – and the District of Columbia currently prohibit guns within a certain distance of polling locations.
