Hearing Protection Act

[broadoakarmoury]

Anyone heard anything concerning the HPA bill, it's chances for passage, hopes, whispers or rumors? Just curious to hear others feelings on this IMO long overdue restoration of our right to access effective safety equipment. Though it would be a fun topic to discuss. Thanks all for posting, newer member, huge fan of the group and honored to be part of it.

It will be a while for it to be voted on in the House and Senate. Executive order can not change the law. Too many more important things are on the new agenda before getting to the HPA.

That it'll be heard is a huge step in the right direction. Session is fresh, and ACA is front and center.

I'm guessing it'll be 2-3 months, and might get added to some other bill. When it takes effect will really be dependent upon how the final law is written and what form it takes (repeal/revision).

The draft looks great, since it'll open up home-brew just like a 80% lower. Imagine being able to order cores and baffles online!

Silencers are not firearms.

That part needs to be removed from the bill entirely. Then they could call it the Hearing and Freedom Protection Act.

It'd be nice to see a literal, and correct, interpretation of the 2A applied as a federal law - invalidating everything on the books as unjust infringements. I'm just not willing to hold my breath waiting on that. We should gut what's there with surgical precision, so the left thinks they're getting something and we can laugh at them the whole time.

diversified machine is gonna be buried in work lol

You all are dead on IMO. Hopefully with the new administration coupled with the voting turnout of the pro-gun community we can finally go on offense so to speak; take bake our liberties, and begin dismantling the infringements the left has spent years erecting.

There is a petition to reapeal the nfa that someone started the other day. The signitures are moving slowly, though. Here's the link: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/repeal-nfa

likely because after 8 years of obama in the whitehouse, people realize just how toothless that petition website is.

i've signed it, because its a worthy cause and we have a new admin, however just to show how toothless it is - the petition for him to release his tax forms hit over 200k sigs i think it was, and the formal administration response was an enthusiastic "NO!"

[Jim Timber]

They did respond to it though.

Unless you happen to have Eric's cell number or private email, this is at least one option to try to communicate a desire with the Executive branch. It's not a "we hit X signatures, so we're on to party-town", but it is a way to get a message delivered.


What I'd like to see, because it seems at least theoretically possible; is the HPA passing, then a bill to delist SBR's (and SBS's but I think those have more public bad juju from not being "sporting" so we could lessen the opposition by leaving them title 2 for a while), then go after AOW (VFG on pistols, etc), then go after full auto. This gives us a bunch of rights back, and the left can champion how they've prevented us from getting grenades and such.

If you wanted to repeal the whole NFA, you'd need to make a public case for militia's, and until we start having foreign armies trying to attack us, I just don't see that happening. Even the right wingers like being in charge of the military, and they're not going to give that up without a fight (I don't think we can win).
