The SHARE Act
BY Herschel Smith
7 years, 6 months ago
Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) included the silencer provision as part of a broader bill, the “Sportsmen Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act,” or SHARE Act. There are several gun-related items in the package, including the silencer language. A “discussion draft” of SHARE Act will be reviewed by a House Natural Resources subcommittee on Wednesday.
An interesting reddit discussion on this can he found here, and the American Suppressor Association has a summary of the bill here.
I don’t like that suppressors will be treated as long guns, taxed, and form 4473 completed. For God’s sake, people, this is a threaded tube with baffles. But I’ll admit that it will make this easier to pass, there will be no waiting period, no ATF review, and suppressors will be removed from the NFA items list. And if we believe in incrementalism, we should support this bill.

Whether we believe in incrementalism or not, it certainly believes in us.
Incrementalism is how we got in the freedom-limiting, rights-denying mess we’re in, and it’s unlikely we’ll get out in one leap. I for one will take any advancement we can get for now, and come back for more later.
