“”where we are now to get you up to speed on the issue: “”

Have no idea what they’re talking about - what is HPA? If I truly wanted to know, I guess I have to google it but I don’t really care!

Where would we be if articles REALLY MADE SENSE?

The HPA is the Hearing Protection Act. It’s an attempt to get silencers/suppressors removed from the National Firearms Act of 1934. Bills with the same name were introduced in 2015 and later 2017. Thanks to the Mandalay Bay shooting, any hope of this going through and getting passed died. It was reintroduced this year, didn’t make it out of committee, and later bundled into the Big Beautiful Bill, where it will likely die again. On the issue of gun rights as a whole the democrats are hostile, most republicans appear to be indifferent if not passive aggressive.

The explanation is in the second sentence of the piece "The Hearing Protection Act (HPA) recently passed out of the House of Representatives as an integral part of President Trump’s Big Beautiful Budget Bill."

But that's neither here nor there. Please, just call the Senate switchboard (202) 224-3131, and ask your senator to vote for the HPA/Hearing Protection Act, a part of the "Big Beautiful Bill" currently before them. They'll know what you're talking about.
