Travelers Rest, SC – Rugged Suppressors has generously donated $15,000 to the American Suppressor Association Foundation (ASA-F) to support its ongoing litigation aimed at overturning suppressor bans in Illinois and seven other states. This significant contribution will help fund the ASA-F’s efforts to make suppressors legal in all 50 states, advancing the fight for firearm owners’ rights.
The ASA Foundation, the 501(c)(3) arm of the American Suppressor Association, is leading this charge through its backing of the landmark case Anderson v. Raoul. The lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of Illinois’ suppressor ban and seeks to establish legal precedent that will dismantle similar laws across the country. The funds donated by Rugged Suppressors will not only support the continuation of this critical ASA Foundation-backed lawsuit, but also enable the ASA-F to expand its legal efforts to other states, such as California and New Jersey.
“We are proud to stand with the ASA Foundation in their fight to overturn suppressor bans in Illinois and other states,” said Michael Derdziak, CEO of Rugged Suppressors. “This donation reflects our commitment to ensuring that law-abiding citizens in all 50 states can finally have the right to own and use suppressors. We believe that, with the ASA Foundation’s leadership, we can bring about significant change and expand access to suppressors where it is currently restricted.”
Knox Williams, President of the ASA Foundation, expressed his gratitude for Rugged Suppressors’ support, saying, “Rugged Suppressors’ donation comes at a crucial time. These essential funds allow us to continue the litigation in Illinois. We are incredibly grateful for Rugged’s commitment to this cause and their support of our Foundation-backed legal efforts.”
