they're easy to make

you can buy a professionally made one for a $200 tax stamp paid to the ATF (yes, really) plus the cost of the silencer itself which is $300 and up. And then it's a 6 month wait for the ATF to process your request and for the company to actually give you the product you paid for. Just to shoot a 20 dB lower. It's really not a huge reduction in sound depending on caliber and barrel length and other factors…. so it's really petty that they're as regulated as they are. People watch movies and think of some hitman with a pfffft sound you can barely hear.

…and you need to get fingerprinted, and they want to know where it is, and all that bullshit. and they have you on a list of people that own things that will inevitably get banned
