You can still get a suppressor (folks are leaning away from calling them a silencer) and it takes $200 and paperwork. The folks who sell them will help you with this. I hear its taking 6-9 months.
Funny thing, I lived in Europe for 11 years and ended up getting a German Hunting License (Jagdshein) which is not easy. I would estimate that 99% of all hunters in Europe, especially Germany, use a suppressor on their guns. Everyone has them and its not an issue, and does not have the "Secret squirrel" feeling that the ATF has put on them here in America.
