Silencer Central, America’s largest silencer dealer, has rallied behind a groundbreaking bill introduced in Congress on November 9, 2023, which aims to redirect tax stamp revenue from the sale of suppressors to vital conservation efforts and expedite the processing of applications.
“The Tax Stamp Revenue Transfer for Wildlife and Recreation Act is a significant milestone for wildlife, hunters and shooting enthusiasts,” said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. “By redirecting tax stamp revenue towards conservation efforts and expediting application processing, we are ensuring the sustainability of our natural resources and supporting the growth of shooting sports.”
Maddox has been a strong advocate for this bill, recognizing its potential to revolutionize wildlife conservation and recreational activities. Silencer Central is proud to build upon its rich conservation heritage and help improve ballistics, accuracy and safety with its suppressors.
Under the proposed act, 15% of the total revenue generated from tax stamps would be directed towards expediting the processing of suppressor applications by the ATF’s National Firearms Act (NFA) division to a maximum of 90 days. This allocation aims to address the lengthy waiting periods faced by applicants, which can currently extend up to a year despite recent efforts to streamline the process.
The remaining 85% of the tax revenue would be allocated to the Pittman Robertson Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, supporting a wide range of initiatives. These include wildlife conservation, law enforcement, hunter recruitment and more. Additionally, 15% of the revenue would be dedicated to the development, maintenance and operation of recreational shooting ranges.
The Tax Stamp Revenue Transfer for Wildlife and Recreation Act paves the way for a brighter future for both wildlife conservation and recreational shooting.
With a legacy spanning over 18 years, Silencer Central emerged as a pioneer, offering customers a streamlined process for legally obtaining firearm sound suppressors. Today, this industry-leading company plays a vital role in the firearms industry, tirelessly advocating for silencer owners across the nation.

How about maybe supporting getting rid of the Tax stamp along with the NFA and the ATF instead!
Silencer Central should be working for the repeal of the NFA and not concerning itself with what the government does with that extorted money.
How about this. One of the groups most opposed to permitless carry consists of those who provide the training mandated by most concealed carry laws. We’re talking about the elimination of a significant portion of their income stream and they understandably fight against permitless carry whenever the idea comes up. What group fights the hardest to keep the ban on post 1986 full auto weapons. What group stands the most to lose if NFA were ever repealed. Surprise! Its the people who paid outrageous sums to buy their collections of legal NFA weapons. Now, imagine what would happen to Silencer… Read more »
How about no. There shouldn’t be ANY INFRINGEMENT on firearms and parts such as SBR’s, machine guns and suppressors, and that Unconstitutional NFA tax is an infringement, designed to make those items too expensive for the average citizen when passed, and to be violated and used to arrest gangsters. If the NFA is not abolished as it must be, until such time, the stamp tax should 100% fund the immediate processing, not be sucked away for unrelated issues. If the BATFE can process applications within one week, and do it consistently, there should be an allowance that the remainder of… Read more »
