Federal law would change what counts as a firearm silencer or muffler.
This bill would change what federal law says a "firearm silencer" or "firearm muffler" is. It would update the words used to describe these devices, which impacts makers, owners, and police.
Today, federal law defines "firearm silencer" and "firearm muffler" with its existing text. This bill would replace that current definition with a new, specific one. The new definition would include devices made to quiet portable firearms and their main outer parts.
