I suppose they are legal, but I believe (in my jurisdiction) I have to get the sheriff’s permission to buy one.
Federal law requires FBI approval and an NFA stamp costing $200 and is non transferable.
That requirement goes away on July 13th, when the new NFA rules go into effect. All that will be required after that date is that you inform your local LEO of the NFA application, but your LEO does not have to sign off.

Ditto for my County (Kerr) in TX. Even though TX Parks and Wildlife recommends them to prevent hearing loss, he has stated publicly he will not sign off on one.
