It has now been over two months since it has been referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigation...

Is this one going to just fizzle away or will the distinguished so called leadership actually make a move?

Received a response this morning.

Dear Mr. parabelum:

Thank you for contacting me with your thoughts on H.R. 367, the Hearing Protection Act of 2017. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue.

This bill was introduced by Rep. Jeff Duncan on January 9, 2017, and this bill would remove sound suppressors from regulation under the National Firearms Act, and would reclassify them to be treated as ordinary firearms subject to the usual NICS check and Form 4473 for dealer sales. Currently suppressors are subjected to the National Firearms Act's application process.

Currently, H.R. 367 is being reviewed in the House Ways and Means and the House Judiciary Committees. While I do not serve on these committees, rest assured I will keep your thoughts in mind should this bill come before the House for a vote.

Again, thank you for contacting me; I appreciate hearing your opinion on this issue. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to call, write, or email me.

I have contacted my representative Conaway (district 11), urging him to support this bill.
