“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 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.”

ATLANTA, GA: The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is thrilled to announce the hiring of Jessica Kallam as the Vice President of Marketing. With over two decades of experience in the firearms industry, Jessica is a proven leader in marketing, communications, and public affairs.

She brings a skill set that will dramatically strengthen the Association and our ability to effectively advocate.”

“SHE BRINGS A SKILL SET THAT WILL DRAMATICALLY STRENGTHEN… OUR ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY ADVOCATE.”

“I am incredibly excited to join ASA’s fight for pro-suppressor reform,” said Jessica Kallam, VP of Marketing of ASA. “With over 20 years in the firearms industry working for some of the top brands, I can’t think of a better way to support them than to fight for our rights. Knox Williams and Owen Miller have done a fantastic job pursuing legislation (and litigation) in every state that does not currently allow suppressor ownership with the No State Left Behind Campaign and I look forward to helping them make suppressors legal in all 50 states.”
