Congress Needs To Hear From You On Hearing Protection Act

A recent news update at the NRA-ILA website is encouraging gun owners to contact their senators and representatives to urge them to support and cosponsor the Hearing Protection Act.

The HPA is a federal measure to reduce the burdensome and antiquated acquisition process for firearm suppressors. The bill would eliminate the current excessive wait times (sometimes up to a year) and the burdensome tax on transferring or making a suppressor.

As members of Congress return to their home states and districts for the August recess, they often focus on constituent services, so now is a very opportune time to contact your elected representatives.
