SHUSH Act: Easing Federal Rules on Firearm Silencers

This bill aims to change how firearm silencers are regulated at the federal level. Instead of being subject to strict rules, taxes, and registration like certain other weapons, silencers would be treated as regular firearm accessories. The bill would also override state laws that impose additional taxes or registration requirements on silencers.
Key points
Firearm silencers would be treated as regular accessories, not special weapons subject to strict federal regulations.
Federal taxes and registration requirements for silencers would be removed.
The bill would override state and local laws imposing their own taxes or registration requirements on silencers.
Changes would take effect immediately upon enactment, with transfer tax changes retroactive to October 2015.
