Are silencers (suppressors) legal in Kansas?

Yes, for all firearms
No
Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns
Yes, but registration with the state is required

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

In Kansas, silencers, also known as suppressors, are legal for use with firearms. This is grounded in the state's gun laws, which allow for the ownership and use of suppressors without the restriction of requiring them to be limited to certain types of firearms, such as only rifles or shotguns. Additionally, while federally, suppressors must be registered and comply with the National Firearms Act (NFA), Kansas state law itself does not impose additional state-level restrictions or registration requirements specifically for the possession of suppressors beyond what is mandated federally. Therefore, the statement indicating that they are legal for all firearms captures the essence of Kansas law appropriately, reflecting both the permissive stance toward suppressors and the lack of specific state-level restrictions. While the other options offer either specific limitations or outright prohibitions that do not reflect the reality of Kansas regulations, the correct understanding hinges on recognizing that Kansas law allows for broad usage of suppressors across various firearm types.
