User ID: 73021039 United States 01/10/2017 02:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's so many adapters right now on the market to fabricate your own silencer at a basically anything from a Maglite to a car's oil filter that I don't see why this bill won't pass. I do know these adapters weren't regulate before and then under Obama they became regulated, so with Trump in office I'm sure the regulations will be taking off You can still purchase the Maglite silencer kits, but the adapter with the threaded piece is the only part that is regulated so if you could drill out and make your own tbread end,,you're good to go. just don't get caught with it God like productions or God like politics. Hard to tell these days.. |

IF you are going to use it as a silencer you are supposed to apply for the proper permits and tax stamps I want to build an MP5SD so I hope this passes along with relaxing the SBR restrictions |

But the moment you convert them for Suppressor use you become a felon. Furthermore imo those alternatives don't result in a reliable suppressor. But I digress you shouldn't need to pay a tax on a firearm "part". SBR....one step at a time. It's a bit easier to get around sbr laws than to get a suppressor.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72910647 United States 01/10/2017 04:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | With the new administration I believe this deserves more attention. Simply put, trying to get more exposure for it. Quoting: Strike WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is pleased to announce the reintroduction of the Hearing Protection Act (HPA) by Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-03) and Rep. John Carter (TX-31). This historic piece of legislation, which was originally introduced by Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-05) in the 114th Congress, will remove suppressors from the purview of the National Firearms Act (NFA), replacing the antiquated federal transfer process with an instantaneous NICS background check. The HPA also includes a provision to refund the $200 transfer tax to applicants who purchase a suppressor after October 22, 2015, which was the original date of introduction. “The American Suppressor Association believes that citizens should not have to pay a tax to protect their hearing while exercising their Second Amendment rights,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the ASA. “We are thrilled for the opportunity to work with Representatives Duncan and Carter, who have reintroduced the Hearing Protection Act in this new Congress. Although we recognize that introducing this bill is the first step in what will be a lengthy process to change federal law, we look forward to working on the Duncan-Carter bill, alongside the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation and the NRA to advance and ultimately enact this common-sense legislation.” Also known as silencers, suppressors are the hearing protection of the 21st century sportsman. Despite common Hollywood-based misconceptions, the laws of physics dictate that no suppressor will ever be able to render gunfire silent. Suppressors are simply mufflers for firearms, which function by trapping the expanding gasses at the muzzle, allowing them to slowly cool in a controlled environment. On average, suppressors reduce the noise of a gunshot by 20 – 35 decibels (dB), roughly the same sound reduction as earplugs or earmuffs. In addition to hearing protection, suppressors also mitigate noise complaints from those who live near shooting ranges and hunting lands.
