Washington D.C. – Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced a bill this week to remove suppressors, or “silencers,” from federal regulation.
The Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act (the SHUSH Act) deregulates suppressors by completely removing them from all federal regulation.
“Sen. Lee is a champion for gun rights, and his legislation displays his dedication to restoring the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans,” said Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights. “Most in Congress who support silencer freedom want full deregulation, and that’s exactly what Lee is doing with his bill.”
The SHUSH Act removes silencers from all federal control.
“Suppressors are accessories and should be treated just like magazines, scopes, or gun stocks. Treating an accessory the same as a gun sets a bad precedence for anti-gun legislators to further regulate other accessories in the future. There’s no reason they should be subjected to the Brady registration scheme,” said Brown.
“We’re happy and privileged to be able to work with Sen. Lee on this legislation, and excited to continue pushing forward,” Brown concluded.
The National Association for Gun Rights is the nation’s second largest pro-gun organization, with 4.5 million members and supporters nationwide.
