At the federal level, our goal is simple: ease the archaic restrictions on suppressors. Our work is singularly focused on creating a better environment for businesses and consumers alike. The current makeup of Congress will make legislative results difficult to attain. However, every circumstance breeds new opportunities. We will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to accomplish pro-suppressor reform.

In this difficult legislative environment, our top priority is to streamline the NFA process and reduce transfer times. We are working to ensure the stability and efficacy of the eForms system, as well as develop a system for ATF to process NFA transfers “over-the-counter”. We are also working to fix ATF’s burdensome regulation of suppressor parts and components. Ultimately, our long-term goal is the removal of suppressors from the NFA through the passage of the Hearing Protection Act (HPA).

Our primary federal initiatives are as follows:

• Ensure the stability and efficacy of the eForms system
• Streamline the NFA process and reduce transfer processing times
• Lobby the Department of Defense and NATO to issue system-wide suppressor solicitations
• Remove suppressors from the NFA by passing the Hearing Protection Act or similar legislation
