The PARTS Act of 2025 amends the federal legal definition of firearm silencers and mufflers under U.S. criminal law. Currently, the law broadly defines these devices as anything designed to reduce gun noise; the bill narrows this definition to specifically cover only devices that are intentionally designed to silence firearms and actually attached to them, or the primary housing parts of such devices. This change would affect gun manufacturers, dealers, and owners by potentially exempting certain components or devices from federal regulation if they don't meet the more specific criteria. The bill does not include funding allocations or implementation timelines. The legislation targets a change in how federal law regulates sound-suppressing firearm attachments.
