Territory of Guam
Hagåtña, Guam – -(AmmoLand.com)- On Monday, April 5th, 2021 Guam’s Committee on Public Safety, Emergency Response, Military and Veteran’s Affairs, Mayor’s Council, and Public Transit hosted a virtual public hearing on legislation that seeks to legalize suppressor ownership within the island territory.
Introduced by Senator V. Anthony Ada, Bill No. 73-36, titled The Hearing Protection Act of 2021, has three additional cosponsors: Sen. Frank Blas Jr., Sen. Christopher Duenas, and Sen. James Moylan. If enacted, Guam, a U.S. Territory, would join the 42 states where suppressors are currently legal to own.
SALT LAKE CITY While President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats look for ways to tighten federal gun laws in the wake of several mass shootings across the country, a group of Republicans, led by Utah Sen. Mike Lee, wants to undo regulations on an accessory known as a silencer.
Lee said the steps needed to buy a silencer or suppressor amount to gun control. The current, oppressive process required to buy silencers only hurts the eardrums of millions of hunters, sportsmen and marksmen each year, and serves to provide surreptitious gun control, he said in a statement.
Lee said his bill, the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act, would eliminate the onerous regulation to make a legal sport safer for millions of Americans. Sens. Ted Cruz, of Texas, and John Cornyn, of Texas, are co-sponsoring the legislation, and Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., introduced a companion bill in the House.
As the 117th Congress is now in full swing, legislation is being reintroduced and work is under way on needed policy changes. Following is a brief overview of important legislation I am working with fellow senators to reintroduce this Congress.
Energy ⢠Work continues with a bipartisan group of senators to update and reintroduce the American Nuclear Infrastructure Act (ANIA). This legislation further facilitates our nuclear competitiveness. ANIA ensures the research conducted at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) continues to contribute to and empower the long-term viability of diverse domestic energy resources and keeps us at the nuclear innovation forefront.
⢠Advancement of the bipartisan Department of Energy National Labs Jobs ACCESS (Apprenticeships for Complete and Committed Employment for Specialized Skills) Act to address looming personnel shortages due to a rapid retirement-eligible work force within the energy sector, like at INL, is important.
