     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Protecting Our Communities Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This expands the types of parts, weapons, and devices that are subject to regulation under federal firearms laws. The bill also establishes a notification requirement following a firearms-related background check that results in a denial.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;includes as a firearm any combination of parts designed or intended to be used to convert a device into a firearm and from which a firearm may be readily assembled; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;adds armor-piercing, concealable weapons to the list of firearms subject to regulation under federal firearms laws; and &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;provides statutory authority for the regulation issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to classify bump-stock devices as machine guns for the purposes of federal firearms laws. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Justice to notify state and local law enforcement authorities following a firearms-related background check that results in a denial.&lt;/p&gt;
