Constitutional Hearing Protection Act removes silencers from the definition of firearms and preempts state laws on silencers.
The Constitutional Hearing Protection Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to remove silencers from the definition of firearms.

The bill further preempts state laws that impose taxes, marking, recordkeeping, or registration requirements on silencers. Licensed importers and manufacturers must mark silencers with a serial number on the keystone part. The Attorney General must destroy existing silencer registrations and applications within a year of the Act's enactment.
