2016 Presidential Election & the Hearing Protection Act

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- My fellow Americans,

Tuesday’s Republican election victory was a tremendous win for our Second Amendment rights and it also marked a significant increase in the potential for the Hearing Protection Act to become law and remove silencers from the NFA registry.

What does this mean for you?

• No $200 tax stamp
• No excessive wait times
• No NFA trusts
• No fingerprint cards, passport photos, or Chief Law …Read the Rest
