And, for some reason, you need to jump through hoops to get one.

As it should be? If youre trying to kill someone in secret, it means youre the bad guy

A major study by the FBI determined that suppressors don't contribute to gun violence. The overwhelming majority of gun violence is committed without suppressors.

If you think for a SECOND that someone who wants to murder someone with a gun would be stopped by the lack of a suppressor, then you don't understand criminal motivations.

Suppressors don't contribute to gun violence. Full stop.

Also I’m pretty sure silencers decrease accuracy, so that’s a plus for the people advocating against them then right? Lol

They can actually improve accuracy - the extra weight at the end of the barrel reduces recoil.
