Are suppressors (silencers) legal to own in Nebraska?

Yes
No
Only for law enforcement
Only with a special permit

The correct answer is: Yes

Suppressors, often referred to as silencers, are indeed legal to own in Nebraska. They are regulated under both federal and state laws, which allow private citizens to possess them provided they comply with the National Firearms Act (NFA). This means individuals must go through a federal application process, including background checks and payment of a tax. Once these requirements are met, individuals can legally purchase and possess suppressors in Nebraska. This understanding highlights the regulated nature of suppressor ownership, contrasting sharply with choices that suggest outright bans or restrictions limited to law enforcement or special permits that exceed standard legal procedures.
