Nationwide ban on firearm silencers and mufflers, establishing buy-back program
This legislation establishes a nationwide ban on the import, sale, and possession of firearm silencers and mufflers for most private citizens. Individuals currently owning these devices will have a 90-day window to surrender them through a government buy-back program to receive compensation and avoid penalties. The goal is to restrict access to accessories that reduce the sound signature of firearms.
Key points
Possession Ban: After 90 days from enactment, it becomes unlawful for private citizens to possess, sell, or transfer firearm silencers or mufflers.
Buy-Back Program: The Attorney General must establish a 90-day program to purchase these devices from individuals seeking to comply with the new law, offering financial compensation.
Exemptions: The ban does not apply to qualified law enforcement officers (federal, state, and campus) or personnel involved in nuclear facility security.
