Suppressors are very tightly controlled. Unless they are stolen, it is impossible to get one without a lot of red tape, plus thorough background checks. There is a long approval form and it has to be kept with a $200 tax stamp together with the suppressor should the Popo find us with the gun anywhere.
I would have loved to make my own, there is no rocket science. It is illegal though.
The approval process takes more than 60 days, sometimes more than a year.
I believe the key is a suppressor is not what people see in the movies. On a lethal handgun it is almost a waste of time, as there is still a lot of noise.
People look at movies and they form totally incorrect perceptions and then fabricate BS when someone tries to point them in the right direction.
