It would be nice for this to actually go through and pass both houses of Congress. I know- wishful thinking.
Mods, I put in general since there hasn't been any actions taken yet other than referred to committees. Feel free to move if necessary.
Introduced in House (01/09/2023)
Hearing Protection Act
This bill removes silencers from the definition of firearms for purposes of the National Firearms Act. It also treats persons acquiring or possessing a firearm silencer as meeting any registration and licensing requirements of such Act.
The Department of Justice must destroy certain records relating to the registration, transfer, or making of a silencer.
The bill also revises the definitions of firearm silencer and firearm muffler under the federal criminal code and includes such items in the 10% excise tax category.
