Title: Rep Introduces ‘Hearing Protection Act’ to Streamline Purchase of Firearm Suppressors

On October 22 Representative Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ) (R-AZ-5) announced the Hearing Protection Act (HPA), a bill aimed at removing suppressors from National Firearms Act oversight so Americans can more easily acquire them for hearing protection while target shooting or hunting.

“On average, suppressors reduce the noise of a gunshot by 20 – 35 decibels (dB), roughly the same sound reduction as earplugs or earmuffs.” But the passage of HPA would mean Americans in the “41 states where private suppressor ownership is currently legal and the 37 states where hunting with a suppressor is legal” would be able to enjoy their Second Amendment rights without the need to purchase earplugs or earmuffs to shoot.

It should be noted that currently–under National Firearms Act (NFA) requirements–the purchaser of a suppressor has to pass the background check required to purchase a machine gun, a transfer/registration process with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and pay a $200 federal transfer tax. There is a waiting process involved in all this that varies in length, but current response time for a would-be suppressor purchaser to be approved is about five months.

But the American Sniper Association (ASA) reports that Salmon’s legislation would change this in a way that makes acquiring suppressors for hearing protection more affordable and more efficient. The HPA would remove suppressors from the purview of the NFA and “[replace] the antiquated federal transfer process with an instantaneous NICS background check.” The HPA would also “refund the $200 transfer tax to applicants who purchase a suppressor after October 22, 2015.”

This streamlines the purchasing process so that “law-abiding citizens will remain free to purchase suppressors, while prohibited persons will continue to be barred from purchasing or possessing these accessories.” And by removing the transfer tax from the price of a suppressor, it makes the accessory more affordable to more Americans who want to hunt or target shoot with a reduced level of noise.

I hope he is successful, although I doubt it. It would most likely cause the prices to take a dive, and would cause a number of companies to get in the act.

A LEO friend of mine has several cans, they are nice. I would like to have one, but do not want to pay the price, or have the paper work hassle.

“[replace] the antiquated federal transfer process with an instantaneous NICS background check.” .... prohibited persons

Those protect ONE person, but a can protects everyone in the vicinity.

They just had to do something illegal, so they added a NICS mandate. "Prohibited persons" violates equal protection, as well as the 2nd amendment. Either we're all equal, or some are deemed piss ants without rights. There are no second class citizens, aka peons.

If they can call the guy down the street a "prohibited person" they will one day say the same about you and your family. Tyranny tends to spread.

True. It protects others from "second-hand noise".

Here in Nv, most people use an NFA gun trust to avoid the cleo signature requirement.

So it's just a matter of finding a class 3 dealer, picking out and paying for the suppressor, paying the transfer fee, filling out a 'form 4' and cert of citizen compliance (and if you used a trust, a cert of good standing for the trust), and a fingerprint card. All in duplicate.

Then wait a year (though they say four to six months).

There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't

Whew, all that? No thanks.

Hopefully this will pass ( I seriously doubt it will ). Until then, I will just do without. IF it does pass, then when I can go into WalMart & buy one, just like a gun sling, then I will get one.
