Latest action on H.R. 7965: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects voters, election workers, and gun owners near places used for federal elections. It also affects police, private guards, property owners, and people driving through the 100-yard area. The impact would depend in part on the gun rules already in place where they live.
Why this matters: Federal law does not now provide the nationwide rule described in this bill for guns near federal voting sites. The bill could reduce fear or threats around voters and election workers. It could also limit lawful gun carrying near schools, churches, community centers, and other buildings used for elections. The full impact is unclear because state and local gun rules differ.
