Supressors are highly regulated here in America because idiot politicians believe everything they hear from hollywood. You have to pay out the nose for a tax stamp, and you get put under heavy scrutiny to be able to own one.

They aren't that complicated, so if ever I want one, I'll just make my own... and if anyone asks, I'll just say that it's a mute for my trumpet, wink wink.
You know what's really weird? You can buy air rifles with suppressors permanently installed, and you don't need any kind of special permit for it.
And because they're not legally firearms, you can even get a suppressed black powder rifle delivered to your door.
Ooh, I didn't even think of that! Though, I suspect black powder would clog up a suppressor rather quickly.
2L plastic Bottle, Polyfill. a Knife and Common adhesive are the only assembly supplies needed. Fits on all models lol
I have a lathe, I can make something a little more sophisticated than that. Still, good to know.
We have strict gun laws overall in here, so a suppressor is nothing to add on to that.
Supressors are treated similarly to a full auto rifle here in the states. Like it's going to be used as a weapon of mass destruction and the only people who use them are serial killers and hitmen.
I would think they regulate suppressors because they can’t regulate guns. It’s just a workaround and not like anyone actually thinks the suppressor part is what makes a killer.
You don't know American politicians very well... 🤣
Well I do overestimate most people’s common sense anyway. They always surprise me with their stupidity 😝
That doesn't really make any sense, though. A suppressor is an accessory that protects hearing, and not even very well with supersonic ammo. Meanwhile, guns are definitely regulated in the US. All commercial sales go through a federal background check. I'm just glad I live where private sales are just that - private.
God.. What the fuck are these people smoking trying to regulate what is essentially a fucking tube and some rubber washers?
Gun control is a fucking joke, the NRA is a shitty joke. XD
