Are silencers on firearms legal in Arkansas?

  1. No, they are prohibited

  2. Yes, but only for hunting

  3. Yes, with proper registration

  4. Yes, without restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, with proper registration

In Arkansas, silencers, also known as suppressors, are legal to own and possess as long as they are properly registered in accordance with federal law. This means that anyone wishing to own a silencer must go through the National Firearms Act (NFA) process, which includes a thorough background check, submission of paperwork, and the payment of a tax stamp. Proper registration ensures that the ownership of the silencer is documented and complies with the legal framework established by federal regulations. Thus, the option indicating the necessity of proper registration accurately reflects the legal requirements surrounding the ownership of silencers in the state.
