Gun Silencer Bills Reintroduced in Congress to Ease Regulations
Two bills aiming to ease regulations on gun suppressors, also known as 'silencers', have been reintroduced in the U.S. Congress. The Hearing Protection Act and the Fair Access to Banking Act seek to streamline the purchasing process and prevent banks from discriminating against constitutional industries.
The Hearing Protection Act, reintroduced by Representative Ben Cline (R-Va.) and Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), aims to remove suppressors from regulation under the National Firearms Act. Currently, purchasing a suppressor involves a $200 tax and a lengthy federal transfer process. The act seeks to replace this with a simple background check, similar to buying a firearm.
Meanwhile, Senator Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) and 40 Republican colleagues have reintroduced the Fair Access to Banking Act. This bill aims to prohibit financial institutions from denying or limiting services to constitutionally protected industries, including those related to firearms. The act seeks to prevent banks like Citizens Bank, Bank of America, or BOFA from excluding support for these industries.
Both bills, if passed, would significantly impact the purchasing and banking processes for gun suppressors. The Hearing Protection Act would simplify the purchasing process, while the Fair Access to Banking Act would ensure constitutional industries have access to banking services.
