Most people know them from the movies as Silencers. The technical term though is a suppressor.
MN was 1 of a handful of states left that had them outlawed. Suppressors are not easy to obtain and you must apply for a federal tax stamp through the ATF along with a $200 application fee for each one. Approval takes anywhere from 6-10 months depending on how backed up they are.
I have 2 applications in right now. 1 for an SBR 300 blackout (similar to the one below). Because it is an SBR or a Short Barreled Rifle (under 16 inches), I was forced to go and get a special federal tax stamp similar to what's needed for the suppressor.
the other is for a 22 pistol.
Most of you are going to ask, why would you need a suppressed rifle?
Well, the reason why it passed by both Dems and Repubs in the state and then was ultimately signed off on by a Democratic govener was - They brought in a lot of old school hunters. Guys who hunted both large and small game their whole lives. They all had one thing in common. Pretty substantial hearing loss.
My father is also a hunter and is 69 years old. He can't hear shit now either. As a hunter myself, I am trying to hopefully avoid being deaf by the time I'm his age.
