How Do 8 Dems Announce New Gun Control Bill Without Text? Ammoland Inc. Posted on New gun control legislation, introduced in a title-only bill, was announced by anti-gun Democrat Rep. Val Demings. U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- When eight House Democrats announced a new gun control measure called the “Protecting Our Communities Act,” as reported by The Hill, they left out one important component: the text. AmmoLand checked for the language in H.R. 3299 and it hadn’t been posted despite declarations from Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) and colleagues that the bill is “a package of common-sense efforts to close obvious loopholes in America’s gun laws, prevent mass shootings, and protect law enforcement officers and the public from high-powered, rapid-firing and untraceable weapons.”
