  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that firearms 
          should not be present at any Federal election site.

Whereas, on most days in 2022, there has been a mass shooting in the United 
        States;
Whereas an average of more than 110 Americans are killed and more than 200 are 
        wounded by guns every day, which is an average of more than 40,000 
        deaths per year;
Whereas, as of September 27 of this year, 33,183 people were killed by guns in 
        the United States this year;
Whereas, in May, a shooter killed 19 children and 2 teachers and wounded at 
        least 17 others at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, carrying out 
        one of the deadliest mass shootings in United States history;
Whereas, in May, 10 people were targeted, shot, and killed and 3 others wounded 
        in a predominantly-Black supermarket in Buffalo, New York;
Whereas, during a Fourth of July parade, a shooting in Chicago, Illinois, left 7 
        people dead and at least 46 others wounded;
Whereas, during Labor Day weekend, more than a dozen people were killed and 58 
        people were injured in 15 mass shootings across the country; and
Whereas the threat of gun violence should not impede anyone's ability to 
        exercise their right to vote: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
firearms should not be present at any Federal election site.
