ASA’s Newest Tier 1 Sponsor: Elevated Silence

Sunday, May 21st, 2023

Santa Rosa Beach, FL: The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is pleased to announce that Elevated Silence has increased their sponsorship to ASA’s highest Tier 1 level for 2023. They join Silencer Shop as ASA’s second Tier 1 sponsor.

Jim Hood, Founder and CEO of Elevated Silence speaks to their Tier 1 Sponsorship of the American Suppressor Association, “We’re investing in ASA’s future, which is Elevated’s future. Securing the rights of law-abiding firearms owners to purchase, possess, and use suppressors is common sense. It’s foundational to our country, to the market, and to this entire industry’s success. ASA’s hard work makes this possible, and we’re proud to support Knox and the team. We pride ourselves in punching above our weight, and hope the rest of the industry will match us in support of the fight for our industry and our Second Amendment rights.”

“WE’RE INVESTING IN ASA’S FUTURE, WHICH IS ELEVATED’S FUTURE.”

— Jim Hood, Founder and CEO of Elevated Silence

The search for a suppressor that does it all led gun enthusiast and businessman Jim Hood to one thought – if you can’t buy it, then build it. Jim founded Elevated Silence and developed a multi chamber technology that effectively redirects gas away from the bullet as it travels through the length of the suppressor. This in turn yields the absolute minimal effects on bullet trajectory and stability, which in turn yields a consistently accurate suppressor over a myriad of calibers and weapons systems.

“Elevated Silence may not be a household name just yet, but their commitment to suppressor advocacy and the Second Amendment is second to none. As ASA’s newest Tier 1 sponsor, they are putting their money where their mouth is, joining Silencer Shop as one of ASA’s top supporters. Jim and the team he has assembled are masters of their craft, with an assortment of world-class suppressors in their catalog. We expect big things from Elevated Silence, and are thrilled to continue building our partnership with them,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of ASA.

Silencer Shop Renews Tier 1 Sponsorship of ASA

Saturday, May 13th, 2023

AUSTIN, TX: The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is excited to announce that Silencer Shop has renewed their Tier 1 level sponsorship for 2023. Their renewal marks the ninth consecutive year at ASA’s top sponsorship level.

“Silencer Shop is excited to remain a Tier 1 sponsor of ASA. We support the great efforts ASA continues to make at the state and federal levels, including providing strong testimony before legislative bodies and supporting important battles in the courts to protect suppressor ownership rights,” said Dave Matheny, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Silencer Shop.

“SILENCER SHOP IS EXCITED TO REMAIN A TIER 1 SPONSOR OF ASA.”

— Dave Matheny, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Silencer Shop

Silencer Shop is the premier advocate for pro-suppressor reform. They recently partnered with the ASA-Foundation, committing $350,000 to fund a first-of-its-kind lawsuit challenging Illinois’ unconstitutional state ban on suppressor ownership. The case, Anderson v. Raoul, which was filed on February 27th, 2023, aims to overturn Illinois’ suppressor ban, allowing citizens to purchase and own suppressors for all lawful purposes.

“Silencer Shop spends more money on pro-suppressor advocacy than any other company, and it’s not even close,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of ASA. “Not only are they ASA’s longest standing Tier One Sponsor, they have also committed more towards the ASA Foundation’s litigation projects than any other organization. Silencer Shop’s commitment to a safer and quieter future is truly second to none.”
