Eliminating Federal Tax and Registration Requirements for Firearm Silencers

This bill aims to remove firearm silencers and mufflers from the category of specially regulated devices under the National Firearms Act. Citizens would no longer be required to pay the federal transfer tax or undergo the registration process mandated by federal law. The change treats silencers as standard firearm accessories, while also preempting state and local laws that impose their own taxes, marking, or registration requirements on these devices.
Key points
Eliminates the federal tax imposed on the transfer of a silencer.
Treats silencers as firearm accessories, removing federal registration requirements.
Preempts state and local regulations that impose taxes, marking, or registration requirements on silencers.
