H.R. 3799: Hearing Protection Act Of 2015

H.R. 3799 is in the top ten most viewed bills the week of December 23, 2016. Simply put, this bill would do as follows.
… amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) eliminate the $200 transfer tax on firearm silencers, and (2) treat any person who acquires or possesses a firearm silencer as meeting any registration or licensing requirements of the National Firearms Act with respect to such silencer. Any person who pays a tax on a silencer after October 22, 2015 may receive a refund of such tax.
The bill amends the federal criminal code to preempt state or local laws that tax or regulate firearm silencers.
The equivalent bill in the Senate is S 2236. I assume that once voted on, a committee would be assigned to work out any details if there end up being differences.
By the way, Pat Toomey was asked about his support, and he wrote an entire letter without answering the question. Don’t wait on that wet noodle to support any bill recognizing your just liberties. Would someone in Pennsylvania please run for his office? No, wait. No offense to the ladies reading this, but if he has male plumbing, I want a man in the office rather than Pat Toomey. Ladies who support my liberties are just fine. I don’t want any more eunuchs.
It is encouraging, though, that the interest seems to be there, and people are asking. Note to Senate and Congress. We’re watching and taking names.
