SHUSH Act Seeks to Deregulate Suppressors
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. - John Adams

A much better way to handle suppressors.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Re: SHUSH Act Seeks to Deregulate Suppressors
So..... if I understand correctly, the difference between the two bills is that the HPA would treat a suppressor the same as a firearm, requiring a 4473 to transfer the device; while the SHUSH would completely deregulate them into the same category as any other accessory like a scope or a bipod?
If that's the case, then personally I favor SHUSH; but I am very skeptical that even republicans can divorce themselves from the idea that a suppressor must be regulated just like a gun. Consequently, if I had to bet how this will play out, I'd be putting my money on HPA, with SHUSH being passed after a few more years.
I don't think that's how it should be, but Congress has virtually NEVER failed to disappoint me. So.......

Does anyone know about what the time line could be in this?

Maybe my grandchildren will see something like this. Wait, I have grandchildren, maybe my great grand children will see something like this.

The SHUSH Act could be helpful even if it doesn't go anywhere.
If the Dimocrats in Congress believe the Republicans are going to push it through, they may decide it's better to vote for the HPA. The HPA becomes a "compromise" bill.

I hope it works better in DC than it did in Austin, where the socialists killed both HB560 and HB1911 with no compromising.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.
