So I'm wondering why if you want one you don't already own one? Are you not allowed to own them where you live or something?

Yep, I work for the South Dakota Highway Patrol. Been on watch for almost 12 years now.
In SD to have a suppressor, you have to buy a tax stamp, that is what we call it. Its about $200. Then the one tax stamp allows you to buy one suppressor that you have to declare the caliber. So if you want a .22 you pay the stamp then but the suppressor. If you want another caliber you do the process again. Didn't say it made any sense but that is how SD does it...so you will pay 1K for a suppressor...give or take. OH yea and this process can take as little as 8 months and as long as 2 years. Up to the SD DCI's discretion. This is after you pass the ATF stuff. I know one guy who has one, took him 13 months and he said about 1100 bucks......
