That's not 100% true. An FFL with an SOT can aquire them, keep them, use them, etc. If you don't live in a part of California who prevent you from becoming listed a dealer in the DROS Entry System (DES) once you get a Type 1 (or 7) FFL from ATF, I suggest looking into it. It's got a lot of steps, but it's actually quite easy to accomplish for most folks outside of LA, SD, Bay area, and then you don't have to pay $200 for each item, rather $500/yr for the SOT itself. Heck, if you live in an area where the police are cool, you can even get a California Machine Gunner's Permit, and go buck wild, spending all that sweet rep $$$ on ammo, lol.
I know that post was from way back, but just food for thought for everyone thinking supressors are a no-no in CA entirely now.

As an Aussie, extremely jealous of everyone in this thread. Had an absolute blast at the shooting range when I went to Vegas with my mates!
It is what it is mate... Last week I've went for a deer at night with my new night vision scope
