House Natural Resources Chairman Rob Bishop told reporters today it would be "silly" to remove provisions in a broad sportsmen's package, H.R. 3668 (1.15), loosening restrictions on purchasing gun silencers even after the nation's worst shooting massacre in modem history.
"The suppressor part actually helps people," he said. "To remove it, you're not helping anybody out. That would be silly to do that."
He added: "If that's a hang up, that's sad that that's a hang up."
GOP sources previously told POLITICO the Las Vegas shooting would derail consideration of the Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act at least in the short term.
Bishop said he'd been told by leadership the legislation would get a floor vote "soon," but said he'd never been given a specific date. But the Utah Republican said he hadn't spoken to them about the matter this week.
"To get a floor vote for things, I would strip naked if I had to," he said.
WHAT'S NEXT: Republican sources have previously indicated the SHARE Act is unlikely to get a floor vote in the near future.
