South Dakota law currently lists firearm silencers as controlled weapons, but this bill removes that classification. After this change, silencers will no longer be treated as restricted or illegal devices under South Dakota criminal law. The bill amends the definitions section of state criminal code to exclude silencers from the list of controlled weapons.
