Makes perfect sense. We already have to go through a background check to get the dangerous item. Why should the item that makes it safer for use require MORE stringent controls?

Nice facility! I’m glad they’re there, but it’s ridiculous that suppressors aren’t on the shelves at Walmart.

[@DerWaidmann_]

Walmart wouldn't sell them either way, they're anti-gun and won't sell any handguns, handgun ammo, or center-fire semi-automatic rifles. In fact I discovered semi recently that they don't even sell 5.56 or 7.62x39 anymore. Any 380 is only hunting ammo they don't even sell M80 ball. They also won't sell you a gun unless you're 21 and you have an instant proceed on your NICS check

[@6shootin]

Zach is the man who helped me over the phone with my purchase last year. I’m thankful he talked me out of my original selection. Dealing with SC was a very good experience but it’s outrageous that free men and women have to go through this process to satisfy “the government “.

[@johnsodx]

I bought some suppressors through Silencer Central. They definitely help make the process easy, but just be prepared to wait and wait and wait for the ATF approval. I ordered one last August, and I’m still waiting. The eForm process was supposed to speed this up, but it seems it hasn’t. That’s not Silencer Central’s fault, but you should be aware of this before purchasing.

[@hickok45]

Yep, if it were not for the silly regulations, suppressor companies that are efficient like Silencer Central would probably be shipping out orders the same day they come in. It would be just like a typical Amazon Prime order; on your doorstep in a day or two.

[@originalterrorsquad]

When the ATF first rolled out the eForm service, I put in for a suppressor right away and it took just a little over 90 days. My most recent suppressor took a little over 9 months to get approved. Both were purchased via eForm with a trust.

[@kerryc4556]

You want to hear a knee slapping joke? I have family in England. I travel there often. It is extremely difficult to buy a weapon there.

[@tunn3lbutt]

Why arent you a big fan of suppressors

[@booya6437]

Same here, why would you not be a fan of suppressors?

[@AWareWolf9]

Not answering for Scott, but I’m not a big fan of suppressors either.. using pretty much the “nicest”/most expensive/supposed to be the best suppressor on the market, it really doesn’t make all that much difference. Only lowers the volume of the shot from a rifle a few decibels, I still need earplugs/muffs for my ears not to hurt and ring.. so for my needs, suppressors really don’t help enough to make a difference. Now if you put a can on something like a .45 ACP, you’re actually going to get something pretty quiet that’s almost literally silent. And that’s a good use for a suppressor. But for me, they just really don’t do much at all and I think suppressors are majorly hyped up in the US because they’re so hard to acquire. But as someone who’s put thousands of rounds thru suppressed bang-sticks, suppressors really don’t do enough to make a difference, again for me personally

[@63Rangeguy]

@tunn3lbutt Why would you need a suppressor? It's an accessory I don't feel the need to have.

[@Malefactor]

It's even worse in video games. Take the Hitman games for example, suppressors are magical devices that allow you to take out a column of enemies from behind one by one without alerting anyone. It not only makes the gasses silent, it silences the clapping bolt and ejected casings. Meanwhile if you toss a coin onto grass everyone within 50 feet will hear it and find it suspicious.

In *Czech Republic* silencers are not taxed at all. Only registration costs 8$ (or 200CZK). No paperwork - just buy it, have it registered - have fun :) (10-15mins in my experience) Our general access to guns is more limited :( Have to get a gun license, but at least it's *50% easier* than getting a driving license as comparison. (less questions to learn, less responsibilities, way less cost for the test you have to take, etc.) It's a "shall issue" license you could say. Out rights are cca the same: Can conceal carry, can defend yourself similarly to US standard of: "risk of death or great bodily harm", can buy JHP ammo, NVG/thermal unrestricted, mag capacity *technically* restricted but not in practice (have to get a "special permission" that costs 8$ and from that point you can buy as many magazines of any capacity for ever - it's a little trick we played on the EU regulation. It's technically banned, but anybody applying for a "special permission" *will get it issued:)* )

There was a Sterling sub machine gun leaning up against the tent they were in along with a purplr Austin Champ. The Stering had a suppressor fitted to it and I asked a few questions about it, one was the life os the suppressor. "About 200 rounds" was ther reply. WHAAAT ?!! So what kind of life do you get from commercial suppresors. I guess a Glock 20 4th Generation's supprssor would last a lot lot less than a Glock 19 suppressor, Any advice on this please ?
