Appears the SHARE Act is being combined with the Hearing Protection Act, great news!

More good news about the Hearing Protection Act (HPA):
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/...ent=2017-06-17&utm_campaign=Weekly+Newsletter

The HPA is now attached to a bill that has more likelihood of passing with wording that makes even the ATF happy (because the ASA jointly worded it with the ATF). This will not legalize silencers nation-wide, but any state where they are currently legal, it will treat them like a traditional firearm. Do a simply 4473 NICS background check, pass, and take it home the same day.

The HPA has quietly had a lot of support up until this point from our legislators and the general public. The ASA cited that:

The Hearing Protection Act of 2017 (H.R. 367, S. 59) remains in the Top 10 most viewed bills at Congress.gov. In fact, it currently sits at #2.

The Hearing Protection Act has reportedly been attached to the SHARE Act. The SHARE Act addresses a wide range range of topics, which makes it an omnibus bill.

Some of the topics covered:

Fishing Protection
Target Practice
Self-defense on recreational lands
Recreational fishing, hunting and shooting.
Farmer and hunter protection
Migratory game birds
Archery
Interstate transportation of firearms or ammunition
The act also protects shotguns, shotgun shells, and large caliber rifles from arbitrary classification as “destructive devices'”

The SHARE is maybe the largest piece of legislation to address sportsmen since the Federal Firearms Act of 1968. It would potentially undo decades of anti-gun laws and agendas.

This is (was) good news except that the hearings were cancelled (they were supposed to be the day of the Baseball practice shooting), and have not been rescheduled.

In light of the shooting, I'd like this rescheduled with reciprocity included.

No one should allow their rep to vote themselves more security until residents and constituents are taken care of first.

The SHARE Act
BY HERSCHEL SMITH
4 days, 16 hours ago
Politico:

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) included the silencer provision as part of a broader bill, the “Sportsmen Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act,” or SHARE Act. There are several gun-related items in the package, including the silencer language. A “discussion draft” of SHARE Act will be reviewed by a House Natural Resources subcommittee on Wednesday.

An interesting reddit discussion on this can he found here, and the American Suppressor Association has a summary of the bill here.

I don’t like that suppressors will be treated as long guns, taxed, and form 4473 completed. For God’s sake, people, this is a threaded tube with baffles. But I’ll admit that it will make this easier to pass, there will be no waiting period, no ATF review, and suppressors will be removed from the NFA items list. And if we believe in incrementalism, we should support this bill.

Whether we believe in incrementalism or not, it certainly believes in us.

Incrementalism is how we got in the freedom-limiting, rights-denying mess we’re in, and it’s unlikely we’ll get out in one leap. I for one will take any advancement we can get for now, and come back for more later.

An incremental victory is how we get to where we need to be. It is time we started fighting like democrats and thinking about the long game. Small victories will eventually get us our rights back.

Agree! But I do wonder if they ever care to take care of their consitutents and residents first before themselves. :innocent0

Any word on when hearing will be rescheduled?

Minuteman · Jun 20, 2017

Unfortunately I don't see any pending dates.

Very encouraging to see so many sponsors, including several Democrats.

Four Dem. Cosponsors so far. I hope this gets to the floor. I would write my congressman but for him being in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound. It seems a little uncouth to write him for anything other than best wishes for recovery.

I think his staff is opening his mail right now.

Write your congressman and make your opinion known to him and his staff.

Good on you for contemplating doing it.

nedsurf · Jun 20, 2017

Nod. Will do.

Geez. Yes. If you like him, wish him well, but in any case feel free to continue to voice your opinion; as iHDLz stated, it's his staff that's carrying the water right now, and we need every vote we can get to have this pass.
