I’m guessing they’re real.
Suppressors are legal in Virginia. There’s legislation being written to ban them, though.
It was just weird to me all of a sudden. I can see carrying around an AR that if they take it away is no big deal. A suppressor that you had to get a stamp to get, to me, is a big deal. I wouldn’t risk that. In fact, I was pretty careful in my selection of “apparel” today.
