I would like to see the Hearing Protection Act enacted

[Tenbones]

I agree that the present restrictions and taxes on suppressors are ridiculous, but we should be careful on how we present this argument.  Using the argument that the noise from unsuppressed firearms is a health issue, for instance, could backfire.  There are plenty of members of congress that don't fully understand the suppressor argument and they may decide that in the interest of better hearing health for all Americans, all firearms will be required to have suppressors.

Highly unlikely, I know, but nothing congress does anymore surprises me.

Between work, motorcycles and shooting have I have significant hearing problems, (someone get that phone!), and would welcome reasonably priced silencers.

Someone needs to design a baffle system for toddlers. I'm 28 and already have constant ringing in my left ear. My 3 yr old little girls squids and screams when we play and makes this far worse. So... I'm ready for suppressors on all my firearms!!! Ya'll let me know if toddler suppressors exist too and I just haven't found them.

Looks like it might get folded into the SHARE Act this week... keep your fingers crossed: http://www.guns.com/2017/06/13/hearing-protection-act-before-house-committee-this-week/

And with the Congressional murder attempt it will be very unlikely to see the light of day this year, if ever.

I want to build an ultalight mountain hunting rig with a silencer.  I'm waiting to see if this legislation gets through before starting the build.  I hope it doesn't get shelved because of the shooting!  This is common sense legislation.

Cheers,
Toby

The reality is I've got too much going on right now moving, having another kid, summer family time etc... To worry about it.  Plus not having to pay for the tax stamp would be nice.  I'm not going to finish this build before hunting season anyway so it will be a good winter project.  Maybe Congress will make something happen...

Cheers,
Toby

If it goes through, your tax stamp is refunded.

The suppressor market is in the toilet right now because of everyone "waiting" for the HPA to go through.  I don't honestly see it passing, especially after the DC shooting.

So are there any deals to be had on suppressors yet? I'm ready to get my feet wet...

[czphan35]

Ohhh yea. I got a threaded barrel for my 75c that's just waiting to have a can on it 

[armoredman]

So I'm told another bill was introduced today or yesterday that would completely deregulate suppressors, but the only current story I can find is this one from CNNMoney, which is, considering the source, isn't too far unbalanced. It states that there are two HPA, one in the Senate and one in the House....and I can't find that any actions have been taken yet.
