Bill Summary
A BILL To provide that silencers be treated the same as firearms accessories.
AI Summary
This bill, the Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act (SHUSH Act), proposes to treat firearm silencers the same as other firearm accessories. Specifically, it would remove silencers from the definition of "any silencer" under the Internal Revenue Code, effectively deregulating them and eliminating the registration and licensing requirements that currently apply. The bill also preempts state laws that impose taxes, markings, recordkeeping, or registration requirements on silencers, and removes federal regulations and penalties related to silencers. Overall, the SHUSH Act aims to make it easier to acquire and use silencers, which can help protect users' hearing.
