NSSF Speaks Up on Suppressor Lies
The NSSF's (National Shooting Sports Foundation) Larry Keane penned a Letter to the Editor in The Hill pushing back on Dallas Sheriff Lupe Valdez’s misleading assertion that the Hearing Protection Act will lead to increased crime.
The BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol Tax Firearms and Explosives) drafted a White Paper in January where Acting Director Ron Turk suggested support for the Hearing Protection Act, for among other reasons, they were rarely used in crimes, with just 44 cases a year over a 10-year span.
The NSSF invited select Washington D.C.-based media to attend a suppressor demonstration at Elite Shooting Sports in Manassas, Virginia. Sig Sauer, Daniel Defense, and Olin Corporation supported the event, giving reporters a chance to hear the truth about suppressors.

Now, it's time for the NRA to show some progress in promoting national civil reciprocity legislation for law-abiding citizen's who have state-issued carry permits; they will never have a better opportunity.
