Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove silencers from the definition of firearms, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to remove silencers from the definition of firearms under the Internal Revenue Code, effectively treating them the same as regular firearms. It also preempts certain state laws that impose taxes or registration requirements on silencers, and requires the destruction of existing silencer registration records. The bill also amends the definition of "firearm silencer" and "firearm muffler" in Title 18 of the United States Code, and imposes a 10% federal excise tax on the sale of firearm silencers and mufflers by manufacturers, producers, or importers.
