The Bill to Remove Suppressors from the National Firearms Act

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses House Resolution 95, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Duncan, R. South Carolina. If enacted into law, HR 95 would remove suppressors/silencers from the purview of the National Firearms Act of 1934. Suppressors were added to the NFA in 1986. Under current law, a person who wishes to acquire and possess a silencer, must jump through several ATF channels and pay a $200 tax stamp for each NFA item. This bill would remove these items from these requirements and FFLs would treat them much the same way as they do with any other firearm you complete a Form 4473 for. What exactly does this bill do, how does it do it and what are the chances it becomes law? Learn more and arm yourself with education today.
