Are silencers (suppressors) legal in Arkansas?

Yes, but only for law enforcement
Yes, for all individuals
No
Yes, but registration with the state is required

The correct answer is: Yes, for all individuals

In Arkansas, silencers (also known as suppressors) are legal for purchase and use by all individuals, as long as the individual meets the federal requirements for owning a Class 3 National Firearms Act (NFA) item. This means that the individual must be 21 years of age or older, a resident of the state, and undergo a thorough background check and approval process from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Option A is incorrect because silencers are not restricted to only law enforcement in Arkansas. Option C is incorrect because silencers are legal in the state. Option D is incorrect because while registration with the state is not required, registration and approval from the ATF is necessary. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
