Hell America is actually pretty unique in restricting suppressors.

That is not accurate as firearm suppressors are regulated in Spain, Russia, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Cypress, Belarus and the Benelux countries to name a few.

Yeah true. I didn't verify that. I know there are several countries with large restrictions on guns but little to no restrictions on suppressors, though. For shooting range or hunting applications, a suppressor is basically a heating safety device.
