There are three main reasons why firearms should be banned at polling places:
1) Polling places are meant to be safe spaces for all citizens to vote without fear, and the presence of guns could cause disruption, fear or intimidation.
2) Politics is an intense subject that could easily lead to heated arguments or mass shootings if guns were allowed, which could prevent people from voting.
3) Banning guns at polling places is necessary to ensure every voter's safety and ability to freely exercise their right to vote without threats or intimidation.

I believe that carrying a gun at poling places is quite a wrong thing.
There should be strict policy
to ban firearms at polling places. It is a regulation of free speech. According to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson “The presence of firearms at the polling place, clerk's office(s), or absent voter counting board may cause disruption, fear, or intimidation for voters, election workers, and others present”. There are many reasons why firearm should be ban at polling places. First, polling places are safe for every citizen and there is no need to carry arms to polling places. I think gun is not needed for a safe place where people will just go, cast their vote and get back to their day. Secondly, politics is a sensitive and intense matter where people get heated up instantly and there are more chances of having mass shooting at polling places if firearm will be allowed. If any incident like mass shooting occurred at polling places it will affect the attendance of people at polling places due to fear. I agree with Benson statement, “I am committed to ensuring all eligible Michigan citizens can freely exercise their fundamental right to vote without fear of threats, intimidation or harassment. Prohibiting the open-carry of firearms in areas where citizens cast their ballots is necessary to ensure every voter is protected.” Thus I totally agree with this regulation and this regulation should be considered constitutional.
