Im new to the gun world and am def behind in this world. Having said that, I thought suppressors/silencers were illegal. Also, is there a difference between them or just different names for the same thing? What would one need to do to own one legally? Thanks.

@mohmog33

Suppressors are not illegal (in the U.S.), but you do need to pay a $200 tax stamp and submit to a background check.

Suppressors/silencers are the same, even though it's technically not a silencer since it only suppresses the noise. The correct way is to say suppressor, as "silencer" was a brand name by Maxim who built the very first suppressor.

If you want to know more about owning suppressors, try checking out some dedicated Class III/NFA forums, like AR15[dot]com.

@Anderasio Sweet....thanks for the response. One more question: what is a tax stamp? I think I know what it is but just to be safe....thanks again.

[Anderasio]

@mohmog33

It is quite literally what it says: a stamp, not for postage, but for taxation.

The reason for this is that the initial law that regulated machineguns, suppressors, etc. came about in 1934 (National Firearms Act of 1934, AKA NFA).

It just made sense at the time.

Do a google image search for "tax stamp nfa", the 3rd picture should be what it looks like.

Also note that the tax has always been $200. Back in the day this was quite a fortune.

[mohmog33]

@Anderasio are they generic or specific? is there a certain type I would ned for a sig p226?

[Anderasio]

@mohmog33

If you're talking about tax stamps you need a $200 transfer stamp, in order to transfer the suppressor from a dealer to you.

If you're talking about the different suppressors, you just need one with a similar caliber and thread type as your gun has.

@gunman5945 that'd be great...thanks!

[gunman5945]

@mohmog33 hey bro. i will point out that the suppressor shown on the vid, is the AAC Ti-Rant 9mm. As Chris said it is the bomb. I own severall AAC suppressors and they are very good. There is a new AAC series of suppressors on the market the Ti_rant 9s and Ti_Rant 45s. They are good for taking appart and cleaning. I do have some videos of me using some of my suppressors. If you want I will send you the links.

Hearing loss can be a bitch later on in life. These guys are thinking ahead.

[mikeyboy236]

@shootcentermass Lots of older guys tell me that, Grandpa tells me about navy days shooting rifles, pistols, running loud tools and AA guns all with out hearing protection. He tells me I don't need hearing protection and calls me a pussy for wearing it anyways , while at the same time he tells me that he's wearing hearing aids. Funny ain't it?

Just saying.
