What does Arizona law say about the use of silencers on firearms?

They are illegal to use or possess
Legal with proper registration
Legal only for hunting
Legal only for law enforcement

The correct answer is: Legal with proper registration

Arizona law permits the use of silencers, also known as suppressors, as long as they are properly registered under the National Firearms Act (NFA). This means that individuals wishing to own or use a silencer must adhere to federal regulations, which include submitting an application and paying a tax stamp. The ability to legally possess and use silencers in Arizona reflects a broader acceptance of such devices for legitimate purposes, such as reducing noise pollution during shooting sports or hunting. Proper registration ensures that these devices are tracked and accounted for, aligning with regulatory requirements. In contrast, those options implying that silencers are illegal or restricted to specific uses (such as hunting or law enforcement) misrepresent the law’s stance on this matter in Arizona.
