A suppressor is nothing more than a firearm accessory and it should be treated as such in the eyes of the law! (Photo: Budding photojournalist Clay Martin<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Maybe it occurred to you, but it never really occurred to me, until now, that suppressors should be treated as firearm accessories — not as firearms and certainly not as NFA items. \u00a0The S<\/strong>ilencers H<\/strong>elping U<\/strong>s Save H<\/strong>earing Act, S.1505<\/a>, would do just that.<\/p>\n

Introduced by\u00a0Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) last week the SHUSH Act would eliminate ALL the federal regulations covering the possession, purchase, transfer, etc. of suppressors! \u00a0That would be huge! \u00a0That would be even better than the Hearing Protection Act (HPA)<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\u201cSuppressors can make shooting safer for the millions of hunters and sportsmen that exercise their constitutional right to use firearms every year,\u201d Sen. Lee said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current process for obtaining a suppressor is far too expensive and burdensome. Our bill would remove these unnecessary federal regulations and make it easier for firearms users to protect themselves,” he added.<\/p>\n

Under the Hearing Protection Act suppressors would be removed from the NFA naughty list — no $200 Tax Stamp, no registration, no reams of paperwork — but they would still be restricted like firearms. \u00a0In other words, purchasers would have to pass a background check from a licensed gun dealer or FFL.<\/p>\n

Under the SHUSH Act, suppressors would not only be removed from the NFA list, but they would also NOT be treated as firearms. \u00a0That’s right. \u00a0No FFL needed. \u00a0No background check needed. \u00a0Buying suppressors would be just like buying any other firearm accessory, e.g. new grips or new sights or lasers or lights.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy properly classifying suppressors as a firearm accessory, our bill would allow sportsmen to have better access to hearing protection and preserve the hearing of sportsmen, gun owners and those who live near shooting ranges,\u201d Sen. Crapo said.<\/p>\n

This is genius!\u00a0 This needs to happen! \u00a0It makes perfect sense. \u00a0After all, a suppressor is not a lethal weapon. \u00a0It’s just a sound mitigating accessory. \u00a0And if common sense wasn’t enough of a reason to support this bill, just consider how pissed off it makes the anti-gun lobby.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo weeks after the Alexandria shooting forced gun lobby-backed congressmen to shelve a proposal that would enable dangerous people to buy firearm silencers, two more-gun lobby-backed U.S. Senators are introducing an even more radical bill in the U.S. Senate \u2014 just as Congress jets out of town,\u201d said\u00a0John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis dangerous legislation would strip away all federal silencer laws and make it legal under federal law for convicted felons and domestic abusers to buy silencers as easily as they could buy a cell phone or an iPad,” continued Feinblatt. “For the gun lobby, this isn\u2019t a hearing protection issue, it\u2019s a profit protection issue. They want to sell firearm silencers to the masses, even at the expense of public safety. In the wrong hands, firearm silencers create new public safety risks. The loud and distinctive noise that a gun makes is one of its most important safety features: when people hear a gun shot, they know to run, hide, protect themselves or notify law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

A version of the SHUSH Act has also been introduced in the House,\u00a0H.R.3139<\/a>. \u00a0The real question is whether this will catch on much in the same way the HPA has, which now has over 150 co-sponsors. I guess that’s where we come in, right? \u00a0I think it’s time we start contacting our respective representatives and senators. \u00a0Time to tell them to SHUSH! \u00a0That is, support SHUSH!<\/p>\n
