The Legalities Of Airgun, Paintball Marker removable Silencer / Moderator / Sound Suppressor Ownership
Contrary to popular belief, removable Silencer / Moderator / Sound Suppressors are legal to own under federal law. There are, however, 16 states, plus the District of Columbia , that prohibit the civilian ownership of removable Silencer / Moderator / Sound Suppressors. At this time, the following states allow private ownership of removable Silencer / Moderator / Sound Suppressors: AL, AR, AK, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MD,MS, MT, ND, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA,WV, WI, and WY. Of the sixteen states which do not allow civilian ownership, CA, IA, KS, MA, MO, and MI allow class 3 dealers and class two manufacturers to possess removable Silencer / Moderator / Sound Suppressors.
Removable Silencer / Moderator / Sound Suppressors, like
machine-guns, are proscribed under the National Firearms Act (NFA)
of 1934, and are regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Firearms. The procedure for owning a removable Silencer
/ Moderator / Sound Suppressors may seem daunting at first, but
actually requires less paperwork than buying an automobile. The
buyer then has the chief law enforcement officer (Sheriff, Chief
of Police, head of state police agency, district attorney, a judge
with the power of arrest, or any other law enforcement officer
approved for this procedure by the National Firearms Act branch
of the BATF) sign the rear of the Form 4 attesting the prospective
purchaser does not possess a criminal record and is not wanted.
The two fingerprint cards must be completed and signed by a law
enforcement agency. The completed paperwork is then sent to the
Department of the Treasury with a check or money order for $200.00.
The $200.00 is known as a transfer tax, as it must be paid each
time ownership of the removable Silencer / Moderator /
Sound Suppressors is "transferred" (in this case, the
dealer to the prospective purchaser). As long as the silencer
is owned by the same person, the tax need not be paid again. Only
if the owner sells it will a new transfer tax need to be paid.
An owner may will his silencer to a lawful heir, with no tax incurred.
Once the paper work is submitted, it normally takes less than sixty days to receive the approved, stamped paperwork from NFA Branch. It is only upon the return of the approved paperwork that the dealer can allow the prospective purchaser to take possession of his new silencer. A copy of the approved paperwork must accompany the silencer at all times (the original should be stored in a safe deposit box). Removable Silencer / Moderator / Sound Suppressors can be transported to other states which allow their ownership, but to transport a removable Silencer / Moderator / Sound Suppressors into one of the sixteen states which prohibit private ownership can subject the owner to serious state felony charges.
