WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the American Suppressor Association (ASA) issued a statement of support for the reintroduction of the Protecting Americans’ Right to Silence (PARTS) Act for the 119th Congress. The bill, sponsored by U.S. Representatives August Pfluger (R-TX), is a bipartisan proposal aimed at reforming the outdated definition of “firearm silencer" under the Gun Control Act.
“Americans should not be subject to onerous and complicated bureaucracy to safely exercise their rights. Our laws must provide greater clarity to consumers, manufacturers, and retailers of firearm suppressors,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association. “The PARTS Act will reduce regulatory ambiguity and will better align federal law with current technology. On behalf of the suppressor community, the American Suppressor Association applauds Representatives Pfluger, and his colleagues for their leadership and is proud to support this legislation that will benefit the suppressor industry and all law-abiding gun owners."
The PARTS Act is co-sponsored by Jared Golden (ME-02), Ben Cline (VA-06), Michael Rulli (OH-33), Mike Ezell (MS-04), Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Jack Bergman (MI-01), Brian Babin (TX-36), Riley Moore (WV-02), and Mike Collins (GA-10).
