Silencers are illegal in SOME states for the general public, but only a few.
See link below
Yes, silencers are legal in Nevada (assuming they are correctly registered with the ATF)
Silencers are not legal in the state of Iowa. Currently there are 39 out of 50 states that individuals, trusts and corporations can legally own silencers.
Gun silencers work by trapping and slowing down the escaping gases from a gunshot, which reduces the noise produced. The silencer contains baffles that allow the gases to expand and cool before exiting the device, muffling the sound of the shot.
No. They trap and slow the release of gasses after the gun fires.
No
Typically steel or aluminum
Suppressors are legal, yes.
According to what I found (a cursory search on the internet) silencers are legal in Kansas as of sometime in 2007 or 2008. Silencers are still regulated by federal law. To purchase one legally, you must go through a class 3 dealer.
Silencers (also known as suppressors) are regulated by the Federal government under the 1934 Gun Control Act. Ownership by a private citizen is prohibited by State law in California, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, Delaware, and Hawaii. Possession in states not named is permitted, so long as the silencer is registered with the Federal BATFE, and the $200 transfer tax paid.
Yes. Must be registered with the Federal BATF, but state legal.
Basically any gun can have a silencer. Silencers don't work as well on revolvers, but any gun can be threaded for one.
