Let's Talk Firearms Silencers

Author, Tom McHale


Silencers remain a mystery in more ways than one.

Are they legal? Can you buy one? Can anyone else use it? Do they really silence a gunshot?

Has Hollywood completely misrepresented yet another gun safety topic?

In this article, I want to focus on the fun part - using and shooting silencers, but first let's take a quick look at how to legally get one. After all, you can't shoot what you don't have.

Buying a Silencer

As of this writing, 39 states have some legal provision for private silencer ownership. Yeah, I know, it's none of the government's business. And that leads me to the next point. Check out the American Suppressor Association. They're a consortium of companies and individuals who are trying to fix ridiculous things like onerous regulation of mufflers for guns.

Since silencers fall under jurisdiction of the 1934 National Firearms act, there are two ways you can own one, both of which are regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Shooting the Colt Cooper M2012 Rifle in .260Rem

Author, Bob Shell
Colt Cooper
At various times during their history Colt has produced rifles for the sporting market other then the various m-16 products.

Senators now have two days to read and digest it before a Wednesday vote. Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), the lead GOP negotiator, said the bill contains all the most vital reforms Republicans have demanded and called it a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border." "The bill provides funding to build the wall, increase technology at the border, and add more detention beds, more agents, and more deportation flights. The border security bil
