The registration process required to obtain a tax stamp to legally posses a sound suppressor (aka silencer) is both time consuming and unnecessary. While other countries have stricter guns laws, the ability to purchase a suppressor is simple. Most other countries are shocked they are such a big deal in the US. They not only save a sportsmanships hearing, but eliminate much noise pollution. Really, look at how many suppressors have been used in violent crimes. Compare that to blunt objects like baseball bats. Why again can't we purchase firearm suppressors the same way we purchase firearms?
