Frequently Asked Questions

Why are people buying more suppressors (silencers) recently?

The trend in suppressor purchases is driven by a growing awareness of the significant hearing damage caused by firearm discharge. Many individuals are seeking to protect their hearing from long-term damage and also to reduce noise pollution for their neighbors.

What is the process for buying a suppressor in the US?

Purchasing a suppressor involves a specific legal process under the National Firearms Act (NFA). This includes a waiting period, a federal tax stamp, and background checks, meaning you cannot take possession of a suppressor immediately after purchase.

How does the ATF's e-filing system affect suppressor purchases?

The ATF's e-filing system was introduced to potentially speed up the processing of NFA applications, including for suppressors. While it can make corrections easier and streamline mail, the overall wait times are still heavily influenced by the number of human reviewers available.

Are suppressors only for military or law enforcement use?

No, suppressors have practical applications for civilian firearm owners. They are crucial for hearing protection during repeated shooting, mitigating sound nuisures for neighbors, and can also be beneficial for veterans exposed to loud combat noises.
