I am not seeing his name listed as a co-sponsor yet.  Did I miss something?  Guess I'll be calling and emailing tomorrow.

He wrote me a letter:

Nice to see.  Thanks.

I got the same form letter from his office.

Instead of co-sponsoring the bill, he'll only support it IF it comes to the house floor for a vote.  What a crock.

Better than nothing i guess.

Lisa typed me a letter too.  Not as good:

Dear James:           Thank you for contacting me about S. 2236, the Hearing Protection Act of 2015.  I appreciate hearing from you and having the opportunity to respond.          S. 2236 was introduced by Senator Mike Crapo on November 4, 2015, and was referred to the Senate Committee on Finance. If enacted, this legislation would amend the tax code to eliminate the transfer tax on firearm silencers and remove the National Firearms Act application process. Registration and licensing requirements for firearm silencers would be the same as those required for purchasing a firearm. This legislation has not been considered by the Committee at this time.         Should the Senate consider S. 2236 or similar legislation, I will keep your comments in mind.  Again, thank you for contacting me.     Sincerely, [img width=212,height=48]http://murkowski.senate.gov/images/LM_signature.png[/img]

Dear Mr. Hoff,Thank you for contacting me regarding the issue of hearing protection as it relates to gun control. As Alaskans, we need to stand together to protect our right to bear arms, and I welcome the opportunity to respond to your concern. The Second Amendment is a fundamental right of every American. Many Alaskans depend on their firearms for protection, hunting and recreation. Rather than infringing on our Constitutional right to bear arms, the government needs to work harder to enforce existing laws and to provide law enforcement with the resources necessary to keep our citizens safe. As you know, H.R. 3799, the Hearing Protection Act, would remove suppressors from the jurisdiction of the National Firearms Act. Currently, in order to purchase a suppressor, a citizen must go through a lengthy and complicated process. This bill would eliminate the federal tax on firearm suppressors and ease many of the current licensing requirements that currently make a suppressor more difficult to purchase than a firearm. Thus far, a Senate companion to H.R. 3799 has not yet been introduced, but as discussion on this issue continues in the Senate, I will be sure to keep your comments in mind.Thank you again for contacting me on this issue. If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me or my staff. My office can be reached at 202-224-3004, or online at www.sullivan.senate.gov.Sincerely,
 
Dan Sullivan
United States Senator
