Darn spell check on the I-Pad for that matter
( Silincer )
Strike 2 for the spell check
Silencer
Suppressors (ie silencers) are legal for any citizen with a clean background to own in 37 states. Alaska is one of them. It is not too difficult to own a suppressor at all. You need to get permission from a local Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) and pay a $200 tax (Federal Tax Stamp), then fill out a few forms and have a background check done. Legal in PA as well.....same process for legally buying a machine gun. In no states are they a legal, off the shelf purchase. They are regulated by the Federal Govt, and require jumping thru some hoops (more so than just purchasing a firearm. Still, not that difficult though.
I have a friend that collects H&K MP5s I think hes up to 6 or 7 now. One of them is suppressed....Its a real (pardon the pun) blast to shoot. He also has an original Thompson sub machine gun, a Sten and a full auto M4. Full auto shooting is a rich mans game. 1 MP5 can run u up to $20K.
