Reduce federal regulation of firearm suppressors

Cornyn says he is continuing to push to eliminate the federal tax and registration requirements for firearm suppressors under the National Firearms Act. He cosponsored the Hearing Protection Act, which would remove suppressors from regulation under that act and treat their purchase like the purchase of a long gun, and the SHUSH Act, which would simplify the purchase process for law-abiding citizens and reduce bureaucratic obstacles.
