Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SHARE Act and what are its main goals?

The SHARE Act, or Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act, is a legislative bill containing multiple pro-gun provisions. Its primary goals include clarifying interstate firearm transportation laws, redefining armor-piercing ammunition classification, and updating regulations related to silencers and firearm possession in certain areas.

How does the SHARE Act change interstate firearm transportation laws?

The SHARE Act would modify current laws to allow lawful interstate transportation of firearms and ammunition if it is legal in both the origin and destination states. It also expands the definition of 'transport' to include stops for lodging, food, fuel, and other incidental activities during travel.

What is the proposed change regarding armor-piercing ammunition under the SHARE Act?

The SHARE Act aims to classify ammunition as armor-piercing based on the manufacturer's intent, rather than solely on whether it can be used in both a rifle and a handgun. This would prevent the ATF from reclassifying certain ammunition types arbitrarily.

How does the SHARE Act update the Hearing Protection Act?

The SHARE Act includes an updated version of the Hearing Protection Act, revising the definition of a silencer. It specifies that a silencer includes its 'keystone part' but excludes interchangeable parts used for mounting the device to a firearm, simplifying the process for purchasing suppressors.
