WASHINGTON, D.C., September 13, 2017<\/b>\u00a0-Today, the House Committee on Natural Resources passed H.R. 3668, the \u201cSportsmen\u2019s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act of 2017\u201d or \u201cSHARE Act.\u201d This bipartisan bill expands opportunities for hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting; increases safety and hearing protection for sportsmen and women; and protects Second Amendment rights. Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) issued the following statement: \u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe SHARE Act removes bureaucratic roadblocks that inhibit Americans\u2019 access to outdoor sporting activities on federal lands and reigns in federal encroachment on Second Amendment rights. Members also adopted important amendments that improve upon this package, including provisions to address cumbersome permitting processes for guides and outfitters, which will result in more jobs and more Americans recreating outdoors. I look forward to advancing this package through the House and working with our Senate colleagues on a final bill that can be signed into law.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

The effort to deregulate of silencers has reached an important milestone: The Hearing Protection Act has made it out of committee, and been incorporated as part of another larger bill. House Resolution 3668 \u2013 the Sportsmen Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act \u2013 has been introduced to the House floor with a new subsection, Title XV, Hearing Protection. The new subsection provides for the change in classification of silencers from NFA items to standard firearms such as long guns, just like the HPA. Its text is reproduced at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n

Also included in the SHARE Act is another subsection, Title XVI, which, among other things, would allow the importation of any firearm or ammunition legal for sale in the US, and prevent the classification of common rifle ammunition as \u201carmor piercing\u201d pistol ammunition by the ATF. This subsection also includes provisions to ease importation of weapons for the purposes of experimentation, personal weapons being re-imported from other countries, and curios. It also includes a provision to protect shotguns from being classified as destructive devices, even if they are not considered \u201csporting\u201d weapons. Finally, the subsection includes a provision to further protect the temporary transfer of lawful firearms across state lines, by removing the \u201csporting purposes\u201d proviso from Title 18, 922(a)(5)(B), (a)(9), and (b)(3)(B).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
