Ends federal rules and taxes on firearm silencers, treating them like other gun accessories.
This bill would change how firearm silencers are regulated across the country. It would remove them from federal rules that currently treat them like firearms, ending special taxes and registration requirements. This means people who want to buy or own silencers would face less paperwork and fewer costs.
Today, firearm silencers are treated like other "firearms" under federal law, requiring registration, specific transfer steps, and a federal tax, and can be regulated by states. After this bill, silencers would be treated like regular gun accessories, removing federal registration and taxes, overriding state-level taxes and registration, and preventing federal consumer product regulation.
