What legislation did Ryan shelve....silencer or suppressor?

It was the Hearing Protection Act which covered suppressors (AKA "silencers"). They actually are the same thing.

Currently an NFA item, the bill would have put them into simple "Firearm" category with all the purchase requirements of that category (which are considerably less than for the "tax stamp" we have to buy now and wait a year for "approval").
