yes, consult a lawyer in your area or the NRA for more info

Well the correct term is suppressor. Since they actually don't silence a gun.Yes,there are no Federal Laws against ownership of a suppressor but there are state laws. You would need to check your state laws. And you will need to register the suppressor with the ATF whether you made or bought it.

In the US, you need to locate a dealer in your home state that has a special license ( commonly called a Class III) to sell suppressors. You will need to apply to the BATFE for transfer of the suppressor to you, and pay a $200 tax on the transfer.
