You are misinformed. Silencers are not illegal if you pay the tax stamp on them. If you can own a gun you can pay the taxes for one and you are 100% legal.
In fact, before the 1930s when they passed the tax on silencers, most people in urban areas used them regularly in order to target practice or hunt without bothering their neighbors. Hardly anyone used them for illegal snipings.
Before the 1930’s they came up with the .22 so they could have indoor shooting ranges in some of the larger mansions of the day !
sorry, just some useless info.........
“Silencers are not illegal if you pay the tax stamp on them.”
Silencers fall under the National Firearms Act at a federal level and most states also cover them.
If you are manufacturing silencers you are most likely breaking the law.
If you are target shooting in your back yard you would be stupid unless you have a 180 acre back yard.
