>>The Hearing Protection Act (HPA) would move silencers/suppressors out of the jurisdiction of the NFA and regulate them with the same standards as rifles or shotguns.
It’s movement in the right direction, but why would mufflers need to be regulated at all? Do we regulate barrel shrouds, hand grip plates, or “Hello Kitty” stickers with “the same standards as rifles or shotguns”?
Zactly.
