William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, with assistance from Security Gun Club, explains that suppressors do not silence firearms, are rarely used in criminal activity, and that deregulation will not lead to unchecked sales.

The Hearing Protection Act, intended to remove silencers from NFA regulation, is facing significant challenges in the Senate as part of HR1. The bill's inclusion of 'pork' and provisions that undermine the separation of powers have drawn criticism from figures like Elon Musk and multiple Republican senators.

The US House of Representatives has passed a budget reconciliation bill that includes the Hearing Protection Act, effectively removing suppressors from the National Firearms Act (NFA) list.
