The Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act (SHUSH Act) is landmark legislation to deregulate the purchase of firearm suppressors.
Late Monday afternoon, U.S. Senator and .50 Caliber of Freedom Award Recipient Mike Lee introduced the SHUSH Act in the U.S. Senate.
This landmark legislation would completely deregulate suppressors, or “silencers,” from federal regulation, stripping the NFA tax and excessive government interference to purchase.
Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights stated:
“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. Most in Congress who support silencer freedom want full deregulation, and that’s exactly what Lee is doing with his bill. 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. We’re happy and privileged to be able to work with Sen. Lee on this legislation, and excited to continue pushing forward.”
