A group of 21 vulnerable House Democrats, led by Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.), has penned a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) requesting that a Democrat-favored omnibus gun control package be separated into individual measures.

The “Protecting Our Kids” omnibus gun control package was advanced by the House Judiciary Committee during an emergency hearing on June 2.
