OpinionEditor’s Note: This article includes information from anonymous sources and federal lobbying disclosures. Silencer Central has not responded to repeated requests for comment. While some speculate the company’s lobbying may conflict with full deregulation efforts like the Hearing Protection Act, no filing reviewed by AmmoLand News explicitly states opposition to that legislation.
