A major medical organization, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), comprising over 13,000 doctors, has released a study concluding that suppressors significantly improve and protect hearing. This evidence is presented as a powerful tool to challenge the National Firearms Act (NFA) and suppressor ban laws. The argument posits that suppressors, by protecting hearing and functioning as a type of safety device, should be considered 'arms' protected by the Second Amendment, rendering bans unconstitutional under the 'in common use' standard established in Heller. Furthermore, the lack of historical tradition for firearm registration, as noted by Justice Kavanaugh, suggests that registration requirements under the NFA may also be unconstitutional if suppressors are deemed protected arms.
