What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Protecting Americans' Right To Silence Act of 2025," aims to amend the legal definitions of "firearm silencer" and "firearm muffler" within section 921 of title 18, United States Code. The legislation seeks to change how these terms are defined to include specific descriptions of devices and their components. Specifically, it updates the definitions to cover devices intended to diminish the sound of a portable firearm and their attachment methods. It also includes language regarding the outer tube or single parts that serve as the primary housing for sound-reduction components.
