It's not a fetichism to want to add a safety device to an already dangerous hobby or work tool. To own a suppressor _in the United States of America_ you need to pass a BATFE background check that lasts a year or more. It's a registered item and has a 200 dollar tax stamp. And that's a federal law. What gains in "the safety of the public" are made by making it outright illegal when you already have to do that to have one is at least debatable. Also if they are so dangerous maybe they shouldn't be putting them in the AR-15s of SFPD SWAT like you can see here: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/At-Outside-Lands-worst-case-scenarios-on-many-14296996.php#photo-18061141 https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/At-Outside-Lands...
