It is my understanding that Trump then they will be supporting the hearing protection act and we hope that this will be the first step in repealing the NFA all together.
In a letter recently released from SilencerCo. CEO, Josh Waldron; He takes the time to educate us on the goals of the HPA and how SilencerCo has been a staunch supporter of this legislation.
He writes:
Tuesday’s Republican election victory was a tremendous win for our Second Amendment rights and it also marked a significant increase in the potential for the Hearing Protection Act to become law and remove silencers from the NFA registry. SilencerCo has been and will continue to be a vocal supporter of the HPA and advocate for it to become a priority in the legislative agenda for 2017.
On October 22, 2015 the Hearing Protection Act was introduced. This piece of legislation is aimed at removing silencers from the NFA and instead having their transfer go through a traditional ATF Form 4473 – the same way you would purchase a standard rifle or pistol.
What does this mean for you?
- No $200 tax stamp
- No excessive wait times
- No NFA trusts
- No fingerprint cards, passport photos, or Chief Law Enforcement Officer notification
- A simple process, just like when you purchase most firearms through your dealer

Hopefully, God willing, the Trump administration will show a time of progress and positive reform in firearm legislation.
