Sound suppressors in Canada

[Jarnhamar]

Are sound suppressors for rifles in Canada illegal?

For civillians yes.

For a longer answer than the accurate "no", see the definitions section of Part 3 of the Criminal Code, under section 84:

"prohibited device means"  (c) a device or contrivance designed or intended to muffle  or stop the sound or report of a firearm.

See also the offences created under section 91 (2) and 92 (2) regarding possession of a prohibited device, among other things.

That's the long and short of it. So this one's locked. Usual caveat applies.
