Guns & 2nd Amendment

Allows people to own firearm silencers without special permits.

This bill removes firearm silencers from the definition of 'controlled weapon' in South Dakota criminal law. Currently, controlled weapons include firearm silencers, machine guns, and short shotguns. After this change, controlled weapons would only include machine guns and short shotguns, while firearm silencers would be treated as regular firearms under state law.
