HR404 introduced. Hearing protection act

[schmalts]

Hope it gets through this time as it will eliminate the tax stamp cost. I just bought a new .22lr with threaded barrel to suppress and put a thermal on to erraticate any coon thinking it can dig under my electric fence around my orchard. I got 19 in September. The bill would make any FFL able to do the transfer.

Never made sense to me to level such restrictive regulations on a sound reduction accessory. If someone can legally own the firearm, who cares about the accessories? Regulations centered around a Hollywood/Movie understanding of firearms, not actual physics, ballistics, and criminal science.

I wish. Senate democrats expanding gun rights and reducing taxes?

I hope it passes, I think the political climate due to market shifts for suppressors is better now that when a very similar bill was introduced in the 115th. Oddly the 115th had a way better make-up to get this passed, Buuuuuuuut.........[insert smart ass]

For us not so bright folks, would this affect states like Illinois where they are illegal?

Thats a neat talking point. But they didnt have a super majority in either body in congress. So they couldnt have done it alone without a few D votes.

I hope it passes but I’ve always wondered if this is something suppressor manufacturers want. Having them significantly easier to get would also lead to more competition and probably drive prices down cutting into the profits they see with the ridiculous prices they currently sell for

I bet the manufacturing cost of a suppressor is REALLY inexpensive. mtmuley
