U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan filed eight bills on the first day of the 116th Congress, including a revised Hearing Protection Act to help update laws about suppressors.
“These bills address a number of concerns I have heard from constituents in the Third Congressional District over the years,†said Duncan, a Republican representing the Third District in South Carolina. “I look forward to advocating for these bills along with individual liberty, free-markets, and limited government during the 116th Congress.â€
Hearing Protection Act
Duncan’s bill is written “To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to remove silencers from the definition of firearms, and for other purposes.â€
Duncan believes it’s time to update the laws restricting the accessories.
“The Hearing Protection Act is a commonsense bill that is important to all sportsmen and women across the country,†Duncan said in a statement. “Personally, I have experienced hearing damage from firearm noise, and I believe easier access to suppressors may have prevented much of this damage from early on in my life.
