It's actually a suppressor, not a silencer, and you need to keep in mind that we field questions from a worldwide audience. Firearms laws vary by jurisdiction, and we don't know what yours is. Some countries actually encourage the use of suppressors as a means of combatting noise pollution. If you're in the US, that's not one of those countries - suppressors are regulated as Class III items under the National Firearms Act. In order to legally acquire and use one, you have to apply for an NFA tax stamp, with the application going through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) then through law enforcement at your state level. Once approved, you receive a tax stamp, and are allowed to take possession of the suppressor through a Class III licensed dealer.
Mounting a suppressor to a firearm without having gone through the NFA permitting process is a federal felony, and can carry up to a ten year prison sentence.
