Hearing Protection Act

[EastTexasShooter]

My tinnitus tells me that there are a lot of people around the Nation who could possibly file class action lawsuits for hearing damage, since in a home or car defense situation, firing indoors will often lead to permanent hearing loss.

Also, our hunting animals should not have to suffer hearing loss, and hearing protection for dogs and horses is very impractical, while tampering with their natural senses that assist in performing their tasks.

There is zero Constitutional justification for even regulating suppressors, as they are not firearms or weapons of any sort. Their best comparison is automobile mufflers, which are mandated by law for the same purposes, noise suppression.

I've been watching this in hopes it will pass. It's funny you bring up hunting animals. I've been stuffing my hunting mules ears with cotton balls to try and save some of his hearing when hunting hogs with him. Luckily he's gotten better about it, lol.

Called my reps in support of this. They are already aware of it and seem favorable to it. The refund of all the $200 tax stamps is something I have advocated for years.

Since when did you have to pay tax for a right?

From what I've read, they're only going to go back to a certain date on refunds. I think it's within a year or two of when/if the bill passes.
