For the record, I can not emphasize this enough. A "silencer" does NOT make the rifle or pistol silent. It drops the volume about 30dB ish. That is far from silent if you start it 150 dB. Secondly, they can be owned legally simply by applying for the $200 tax stamp, and waiting about 6-8 months for approval and background check.
Many people use them safely, legally and responsibly at shooting ranges to lessen the noise for those who live nearby, or while hunting to protect their hearing, or anyone else they are hunting with.

Yes, in any situation where a gunner uses a suppressor, the above information, however inaccurate, should be included so no agenda is furthered.
