Hearing Protection Act

CAJUNLAWYER · Nov 11, 2024

Is the NRA going to be pushing a bill after the first of the year to once agaib try to get the Hearing Protection Act passed and to the executive desk?? Want to get one but it would really piss me off if I paid for the stamp and in three months -poof, suppressors are no longer NFA items.

I wouldn't hold my breathe.

ETA:
I'm sending a pm with a link to avoid getting in trouble.

I suspect cleaning up the right to carry across state lines is more likely to get attention than suppressors. Carry would be higher profile to more people.

On the plus side my last suppressor only took 13 days to clear.

That Law has been on the books so long and touted as such a great reducer of crime ... I realy don't see it going down any time soon .
Maybe in 3-4 years ... and that's a big maybe ...
I would just bite the bullet , pay the tax and get one ...
Have fun with it while waiting to see if anything changes ...
you know how slowly the wheels turn up there .

I don't remember any pro 2A laws or executive orders going into effect in Trumps first four years. I don't have high hopes, this go around.

I don't either. I think the best thing we could get would be an overhaul of the DOJ and all the other alphabet agencies.

For New Yorkers we’ll only ever get suppressors if they come off the NFA list. They are completely banned. And even that would require more lawsuits

I’m with the nothing will happen voices. No NFA or national reciprocity.
Spend the $200, life is very short.
You won’t want/need just one either.

The one good thing, at least, is that there was no run up on all the gun shops had the Democrats won. If they had won, there would be no ammo anywhere whatsoever.

Too late for me, can't hear for squat.......

I’d believe CCW reciprocity would happen first. You know though what’s weird? In Europe gettin a pistol is a PITA, but when you do, a lot of them have suppressors included. I was at the CZ store in Prague and they had them case in the box with most of the pistols.

It's apparently not reality that counts, it is the perception of reality. I wonder how many police associations or organizations would oppose taking the restrictions off of suppressors?

Sgt. Buzzard · Nov 16, 2024

For me the $200. really doesn't matter and I'd like one. But reality is there is just about always someone else on the range banging away with a 30-06 or 2" barrel. 357.

I've got 3 - one for 22LR, one for 9MM then one that is for anything from .223 - .46 rifle cartridges included. They are really nice and fun. Bought mine right when the electronic process was going live. Took about 3 months for two then the last one was close to 6. I put them in a trust and have paperwork for my wife as a designated trustee so if anything happens to me, she isn't an immediate felon. Just remember once you buy them chances of selling them are pretty slim so be sure to get what you want when you do get them.

I recently started the process of purchasing a suppressor for my 10/22 take down. It will be interesting to see how long the process takes. I think it's ridiculous that suppressors require a stamp but I would rather any time spent on legislation changes to be on universal reciprocity for CCW. Unfortunately I'll be surprised to see any major changes in the next decade.

Since they're legal here I have had this one for quite a few years. It fits a variety of threaded .22 LR pistols:

Somoen who I won’t mention to keep it from getting political had house and senate majorities from Jan 2017 to Jan 2019 and didn’t even try to get it done.

What did he do for gun rights was nothing. He did however ban bump stocks via executive order and set a precedent for gun control via executive fiat for the following President.

I’m not holding my breath on national concealed carry or de listing suppressors.

Then you weren't paying attention. Here's a breakdown of what he rescinded from Obama-era and prevented:

A Second Amendment Grade for President Trump So Far | The Heritage Foundation

He also appointed numerous pro-2A judges and SCOTUS justices, with the obvious beneficial results.\

Finally, you can't "executive order" either suppressors or CCW reciprocity. We have a democracy in this country and the laws have to be changed by Congress.

I agree that suppressors will have to wait until after national carry reciprocity, and other legislation frankly more important to the restoring freedom and prosperity to our Nation.

Same in MA. I would gladly pay the tax to have one

It was floated to make Brandon Herrera the ATF director. I bet if he was to get that job, he would be pushing for the Legislation. Might even re-word some of the "rules" to make it easier to obtain. Fingers crossed.

The Hearing Protection Act was about to be brought to the floor when that idiot in Vegas murdered folks and put a bad taste in folks mouths.
