Introduced on June 29, 2017, S.1505 is sponsored by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and H.R.3139 lists Rep. Steve King (R-IA-4) as sponsor. A press release from Senator Lee states the following:

WASHINGTON – Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) introduced the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act of 2017, Thursday, a bill that would ensure the elimination of all federal regulations of suppressors.

‘Suppressors can make shooting safer for the millions of hunters and sportsmen that exercise their constitutional right to use firearms every year,’ Sen. Lee said. ‘The current process for obtaining a suppressor is far too expensive and burdensome. Our bill would remove these unnecessary federal regulations and make it easier for firearms users to protect themselves.

‘By properly classifying suppressors as a firearm accessory, our bill would allow sportsmen to have better access to hearing protection and preserve the hearing of sportsmen, gun owners and those who live near shooting ranges,’ Sen. Crapo said.

My feeling on the subject. I can own what I want in order to best protect me and mine. The NFA is complete bull shit. (taxation is theft) The government can not sell natural rights.
What are your thoughts?
