Bill > HR2469

This bill, known as the Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act (SHUSH Act), proposes to treat firearm silencers the same as other firearms accessories. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. Amending the Internal Revenue Code to remove silencers from the list of items defined as "firearms" under the National Firearms Act, effectively deregulating their purchase and possession. 2. Clarifying that individuals who acquire or possess firearm silencers in accordance with federal law are deemed to have met any registration and licensing requirements under the National Firearms Act. 3. Preempting state laws that impose taxes, markings, recordkeeping, or registration requirements on the making, transfer, use, possession, or transportation of firearm silencers in interstate or foreign commerce. 4. Removing silencers and mufflers from the definition of "firearms" under federal law, and making corresponding changes to penalties and laws related to the carrying of concealed firearms by law enforcement officers. The overall aim of the bill is to treat silencers more like other firearm accessories, reducing regulatory requirements around their possession and use.
