> Suppressors are regulated heavily under the NFA. You have to receive explicit permission from the Feds for each one.

You make it sound far worse than it actually is. But everybody legally able to own a firearm, is also legally able to own any NFA item (if they are legal in their state of residence).

All you have to do is pay $200, submit your fingerprints, file an application and wait. You don't even need to provide them with a reason. And as long as the application is in order, and you're legally able to possess a firearm, there's no reason at all to refuse the application.

Also, Texas no longer cares about the NFA as far as suppressors are concerned.
