This bill changes the federal definition of the terms "firearm silencer" and "firearm muffler" in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(25). Under the new language, these terms include any device that is designed, made, or intended to silence, muffle, or reduce the sound of a portable firearm and that attaches to the firearm, either directly or through a mount, adaptor, or other device. The bill also says the outer tube or a single part that serves as the main housing for internal sound-reduction parts is itself a silencer or muffler if it attaches to a portable firearm.
The bill changes which parts are listed as a "firearm silencer" or "firearm muffler." Items such as an outer tube or a single housing part that holds sound-reduction components are included if they attach to a portable firearm. The text does not include other details, such as how this change would be enforced or other legal consequences.
