Reminds me of the old space race joke. NASA spent $millions developing a ball point pen that would write in o gravity. Roscosmos sent a dozen pencils.
Apparently republican congressmen have never heard of hearing protection. Probably need to actually spend time on a range with a set of ear muffs.
I understand that there is an OSHA issue as well. The hearing protection seems to work well for people who use the range but it isn't sufficient protection for those who WORK at the range and have a much higher noise exposure.
