Since the massacre in Las Vegas, the Republicans in Congress have put on hold a vote on two House of Representative bills and two Senate bills. Three of the bills, HR 367, HR 3139, and S 59, are called the Hearing Protection Act of 2017. The fourth bill, S 1505, is call the SHUSH Act. It too supposedly deals with hearing protection.
What does the tragic event in Las Vegas have to do with hearing protection?
All four bills will make it easier to purchase and use gun silencers. The full title of S 1505, the SHUSH Act, is Silencers Help Us Save Hearing Act.
Unbelievably, the Republicans are pushing to make silencers legal. Why? The answer is that the efforts of the NRA, gun lobbyists, many of our congressmen and women, and Donald Trump Jr. have been pushing hard for legalization of silencers.
