Please contact members of the Senate Judiciary committee NOW by using the TAKE ACTION button below and urge them to SUPPORT SB 243.

Senate Bill 243 removes suppressors from the prohibited weapons list at the state level. This legislation is critical to ensuring that future changes in federal law do not prevent law-abiding Alaskans from possessing and utilizing suppressors to protect their hearing while hunting or exercising their Second Amendment rights.
