That you don't hear of a lot of crimes being commited with either testifies to the fact that the controls in place for them are working (although I disagree strongly with the 1984 law).

Sorry I should have said this. Silencers are illegal in most states and illegal for individual owners in even more.
"To the best of our knowledge, silencers are legal for private ownership in the following states: AL, AR, AK, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MD, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY. Additionally, they maybe owned by Class 3 dealers and Class 2 manufacturers (but not individuals) in: CA, IA, KS, MA, MO, and MI."
