STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31316 / SJM104
Currently, gun suppressors are heavily regulated under the prohibition era National Firearms Act of 1934. The
United States Congress has before it the Hearing Protection Act which would reclassify gun suppressors to
be regulated as a regular firearm. This Joint Memorial expresses the desire of Idaho gun owners, sportsmen,
and hunters to encourage the United States Congress to pass the Hearing Protection Act and allow Idaho’s
law-abiding gun owners to protect their hearing while enjoying their shooting sports activities.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no impact to Idaho’s General Fund or to local governments as this is a request for action from the
United State Congress.
