Arkansas Law Decriminalizes Firearm “Silencers”
Senate Bill 400 (SB400)
Bill Link: https://legiscan.com/AR/bill/SB400/2019
Effective Date: 7/24/2019
Overview: Sen. Bob Ballinger (R-Berryville) introduced Senate Bill 400 (SB400) earlier this year. The new law repeals current Arkansas statutes prohibiting the possession, manufacture, transport, repair, or sale of firearm “silencers,” more appropriately referred to as “suppressors.” It also removes a prohibition on a “firearm that has been specially made or specially adapted for silent discharge,” while modifying the prohibition on certain weapons so that a person must “knowingly” possess or sell them.
