Suppressors, more commonly known as silencers, are legal in New Mexico for all firearms. This sets New Mexico apart from most other states where suppressors are either heavily regulated or outright illegal. It is important to note that although silencers are legal for all firearms in New Mexico, they still require a thorough background check and approval from the ATF. Option B is incorrect because, as mentioned before, suppressors are legal in New Mexico. Option C is incorrect because the legality of suppressors is not limited to just hunting. Option D is also incorrect because while special permits are required for purchasing a suppressor, this is not limited to any particular type of firearm.
