Last week the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) held an event in Manassas, Virginia, focused on the hearing protection offered by firearm suppressors.

Suppressors and firearms from Daniel Defense and Sig Sauer were used at the event, which was designed to be hands-on. This means the reporters and writers who were present got to shoot every firearm and use every suppressor at the range.

Breitbart News attended the event, which drew attention to the suppressor legislation contained in the Hearing Protection Act. That Act was put forward by Representatives Jeff Duncan (R-SC-3) and John Carter (R-TX-31) on January 9. It is focused on the hearing protection offered by firearms suppressors–protection that far exceeds that provided by ear plugs or muffs–and eliminating many of the cumbersome steps to suppressor acquisition, thus streamlining the gun owner’s process of getting the hearing protection he needs.

Shhhhh. This will lead to blood in the streets since the police sudio shot scanners won't be able to detect where the shots are coming from. Right? I especially used to enjoy seeing "silencers" screwed on the front of revolvers in some TV/movies shows. Now if we can just key in on "hushaboom" we'll be talkin'.

Adding suppressors to the NFA of 1934 was somewhat of an afterthought, essentially thrown in as a “Let’s throw this in too” moment. Another part of the NFA with absolutely no justification.

I have been waiting since July 8th 2016 for approval of my form 4 for a 30 Cal suppressor. Whatever happened to “a right delayed is a right denied”?

What happened it’s you’re not taking them to court.
