Wonder how it affects manufacture?  Guessing you could build your own?

No, it should treated as an OTC no questions asked. It doesn't fire bullets or make them anymore deadly.

Common sense firearm rules, a strong majority support protecting the citizen's hearing.  Let's do it while people are still voting without reading anything other than the title of the bill.

My first reaction is no for that means background checks for these as well correct? Are they legal to own now? If not they should be but should not have to get a back ground check to own.
I read the text but doesn't say much so not sure what all this is supposed to do.
If it make it legal to own where there was none then I guess but I sure as heck don't want to go through a background check to own one.
Any better info on what this actually does?
Also I read it said is subject to registration and all that crap? so??
If this removes silencers off the NFA list then hell yeah, but if not then ?

From what I understand,and I've been wrong before. It will be just like buying a firearm,fill out the 4473 and that's it. I hope that's all it is. I know if it passes my wife won't be happy,I need/want about 5 different ones.

Finally got a noncommittal response from Rick Larsen on this Bill.  He’ll keep my “thoughts in mind should this legislation come before the House for a vote.”

Still stuck in the Judiciary and Ways & Means committees but the bill now has 141 sponsors including 2 from Washington State. 

I’m writing to Rick again to encourage him to show true Democratic leadership and co-sponsor this bill.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House Committee on Natural Resources has scheduled a hearing for the morning of June 14, in which the Federal Lands Subcommittee will hear a discussion draft of the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act. The SHARE Act, which is being championed in a bipartisan manner by Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus (CSC) Co-Chairs Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC), and Representative Gene Green (D-TX), is a comprehensive package that covers a wide range of hunting, fishing, and outdoor related issues.

Included in the legislation is Title XVII, a strengthened version of the Hearing Protection Act.

Hopefully this does not get derailed by the horrible attack in Virginia this morning.

I'd like to see the NFA done away with, and remove the ban on making Machine guns is America.
