S 4825 United States Senate · 118th Congress

SHUSH Act

This bill reclassifies firearm silencers under federal law, removing them from the strict National Firearms Act (NFA) registration requirements. It requires silencer owners to meet standard firearm registration rules instead of NFA-specific processes and blocks states from imposing taxes, registration, or recordkeeping for silencers. Directly affects gun owners, manufacturers, and retailers who use or sell silencers by simplifying federal compliance. The key change eliminates the need for separate NFA registration for silencers while maintaining federal oversight under standard firearm regulations.
