"why do we need silencers? do we need permit to get them?"New Zealand requires them to hold down noise pollution. Guns are really really loud. Ask any long time shooter. (Get close and shout. They are a little deaf.)
You need a permit because suppressors are scary, and it's a given, to liberals, that only mob killers and CIA assassins would want one. They watch TV so they know these things. Back in 1934, they established a federal system, and gave the task of enforcing it to the guys who had just been thrown out of work chasing bootleggers. This made it as hard and as expensive as possible to get one, short of actually and illegally banning them.
Besides, anyone can actually build one in an afternoon, with a modeler's table lathe, and a bagful of copper rivets.

You can legally build one if you pay the $200 Tax Stamp. If I am going to pay that, I am going to get a suppressor made by experts.
