Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Hearing Protection Act and the SHORT Act?

The Hearing Protection Act (HR 404) aims to reclassify suppressors, removing them from NFA regulation and eliminating the $200 tax stamp. The SHORT Act (HR 2395) seeks to de-regulate short-barreled rifles, shotguns, and AOWs from NFA oversight, treating them as standard firearms.

Why are the Hearing Protection Act and SHORT Act being held up?

These bills are currently stalled in the House Ways & Means Committee, reportedly due to opposition from moderate Republicans. Citizen pressure is needed to move them forward for a vote.

How can I contact the House Ways & Means Committee?

You can contact the House Ways & Means Committee by calling their main phone number at 202-225-3625 or visiting their official website, WaysAndMeans.House.Gov, to find contact information for Chairman Jason Smith and other committee members.

What is the significance of suppressors and SBRs being regulated under the NFA?

Regulation under the National Firearms Act (NFA) involves a $200 tax stamp and a lengthy approval process, creating significant burdens for law-abiding citizens. Bills like HR 404 and HR 2395 aim to modernize these regulations and reduce these barriers.
