With Trump in the White House, Hearing Protection Act looks good for 2017Published: Wednesday, 09 November 2016 15:18, Written by Chris Eger A Republican trifecta in Washington next year will likely see action on a bill to remove firearm suppressors from National Firearms Act regulation after 82 years. The Hearing Protection Act was introduced last October by U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., and currently has 78 bipartisan co-sponsors from 34 states. Since then, the HPA has been among the top 10 most-viewed bills on Congress.gov almost every week since it was introduced. However, with a slim Republican majority in the Senate unable to override a near-certain veto from President Obama, the bill has been in doldrums. Now, with the White House under new management next year, advocates for the measure feel signs are looking up and will likely return to the next Congress with a fresh mandate. gunowners.org/oped11102016c.htm
