SHUSH Act

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would remove silencers (devices that reduce the sound of a gunshot) from most federal firearms regulations, meaning they would no longer require the registration, licensing, or background checks that currently apply to them. It would also override any state or local laws that tax or regulate silencers, and it would let active and retired law enforcement officers carry a concealed silencer. The bill would remove mandatory minimum prison sentences for crimes involving a firearm equipped with a silencer and would keep silencers from being regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
