Bill > S4825

This bill, the Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act (SHUSH Act), proposes to treat firearm silencers the same as firearm accessories under the Internal Revenue Code. It would remove silencers from the definition of "any other weapon" under the National Firearms Act, effectively deregulating them at the federal level. The bill also preempts certain state laws that impose taxes or registration requirements on silencers, and exempts them from regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Overall, the bill aims to make it easier for gun owners to acquire and use silencers for the purpose of preserving their hearing.
