In 2019, Arkansas passed gun law reform for silencers, other NFA items, and cut concealed handgun permit fees in half.
The State of Arkansas has passed a significant reform of suppressor law and state law regarding National Firearms Act firearms generally. SB 400 passed the Senate on 6 March 2019, 29 to 6. It passed the House on the 13th of March 2019, 75 to 12. It was signed into law by Governor Hutchinson on March 19, 2019.
SB 400, now Act 495, eliminates the Arkansas ban on silenced (suppressed) firearms. The old law made it illegal to use, possess, make, repair, sell or otherwise deal in suppressed firearms. Senator Ballinger is reported to have told the Senate that there were about 10,000 people who owned suppressors in Arkansas, under the National Firearms Act (NFA).
SB 400 repealed the prohibition on silenced firearms in its entirety. The old law made suppressed firearms prohibited weapons. It was technically illegal for the owner of a legal silencer to attach it to a firearm.
Silencer/suppressor law in Arkansas has been repealed, except for federal law under the NFA. If the NFA law is reformed, there will not be a conflict with Arkansas law.

NICE OSPREY!!!
KYPD
NFA should be repealed.
I’m surprised OSHA does not require suppressors to save hearing.
100% CORRECT.
As a C&R licensee, I would like to import a Model of 1907 MAXIM heavy/water-cooled machinegun from abroad. - NO felon would choose an over century-old, water-cooled, MG that weighs over 100# to commit any criminal act.
Btw, I know where four such guns with all “the goodies”, including the sets of harness, are for sale OCONUS.
