Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hearing Protection Act (HPA)?

The Hearing Protection Act (HPA) is a legislative proposal aimed at removing firearm suppressors from the National Firearms Act (NFA). This would eliminate the federal tax stamp and registration requirements, treating suppressors more like standard firearm accessories.

Why are firearm suppressors regulated differently than car mufflers?

Currently, firearm suppressors are regulated under the NFA, requiring a $200 tax and federal registration. Car mufflers, despite also reducing noise, face no such federal oversight, a disparity highlighted by proponents of suppressor deregulation.

What are the arguments for deregulating firearm suppressors?

Arguments for deregulating suppressors include their role in hearing protection, framing them as a public health tool. Proponents also argue that deregulation upholds Second Amendment rights and is a common-sense measure with broad support.
