ASA Hosts Freedom Raffle

Saturday, July 22nd, 2023

ATLANTA, GA – The American Suppressor Association (ASA) has partnered with some of the top brands in the gun industry to raffle over $12,000 in prizes. This raffle will run from July 14th through July 31st, 2023, participate and help protect your rights.

Owning a suppressor is your constitutionally protected right. However, anti-gun legislators and activists are fighting to deny your rights! Eight states and the District of Columbia still don’t allow law-abiding citizens to possess suppressors. Nine U.S. Senators and fifteen members of the House openly support legislation to ban and confiscate every legally obtained suppressor in the United States. Noncompliance to their tyranny would turn you into a felon!

This year, state legislators in Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado, and Washington all tried to ban or restrict your ability to use these hearing safety devices. This year it happened in four states. Next year it will happen more.

Help ASA protect your right to own and use suppressors by buying a raffle ticket today. Your donations are the lifeblood that gives us the resources to fight for your rights! Visit asaraffle.com

– Yankee Hill Machine Diamond Specter XL chambered in 5.56 paired with a Vortex Sparc AR Red Dot optic and a YHM Turbo 3 suppressor. $200 Tax Stamp covered by Silencer Shop, $100 gift card from Cole-Tac and an ASA Owl Leather Patch Hat. Package Value: $2,725
