Bill > HR850

This bill, known as the "Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act" or "SHUSH Act", aims to change how firearm silencers are regulated at both federal and state levels. The bill would modify several sections of the Internal Revenue Code and federal law to treat silencers more like standard firearm accessories, effectively reducing restrictions on their ownership and use. Specifically, it removes silencers from the National Firearms Act's special regulatory categories, eliminates certain federal penalties related to silencers, and preempts state and local laws that impose additional taxes, marking requirements, recordkeeping, or registration requirements on silencers. The bill would allow individuals to acquire and possess silencers with fewer legal barriers, treating them similarly to other firearm accessories. The changes would apply retroactively to transfers after October 22, 2015, and would fundamentally change how silencers are regulated at both federal and state levels, making them easier to obtain and use across the United States.
