Easthampton, MA: The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is excited to announce that Yankee Hill Machine has increased their sponsorship to ASA’s highest Tier 1 level for 2023. They join Silencer Shop and Elevated Silence as ASA’s third Tier 1 sponsor.

“YHM is proud to be a continued partner with the American Suppressor Association,” said Chris Graham, President and Co-owner of Yankee Hill Machine. “They are the front lines for suppressor advocacy and they step up to the plate whenever a bill is introduced that would impede suppressor ownership. YHM and the ASA will continue to fight until civilian suppressor ownership is legalized in every state.”

“THEY ARE THE FRONT LINES FOR SUPPRESSOR ADVOCACY”

— Chris Graham, President and Co-owner of Yankee Hill Machine

As a third generation family business, YHM holds true to their original goal of helping those who served. Over the past 70 years, YHM has established a reputation as a world class rifle, suppressor, and accessories manufacturer, as well as a full service OEM manufacturer. They offer high-end durable products at an affordable price-without sacrificing quality.

“Chris, his brother Kevin, and the entire team at Yankee Hill Machine are devoted supporters of suppressor rights and the Second Amendment,” said Knox Williams, Executive Director of ASA. “Over the years, we’ve had tremendous success working directly with YHM to help legalize suppressor ownership and their use by hunters in New England. That said, we still have a long way to go. With partners like YHM, who consistently go above and beyond, I’m confident that one day we will reach our goal of making suppressors legal in all 50 states!”

ATLANTA, GA: For $85 a year, your business can join the fight for pro-suppressor reform by becoming an American Suppressor Association (ASA) dealer member. By joining the ASA team, you can do your part to help protect and expand your right to buy and sell suppressors.

When ASA was formed, suppressors were legal to own in 39 states, and legal to hunt with in 22. As a direct result of our work, suppressors are now legal to own in 42 states, 41 of which allow their use while hunting. Our work doesn’t stop there.

When ATF tried to extend the CLEO signoff requirement to all applicants (which would have effectively banned all NFA items in most major cities), ASA beat their proposal and helped get rid of CLEO signoffs entirely. When Virginia and New Mexico tried to ban suppressors as recently as 2023, ASA was there to stop their legislative attacks. When UPS stopped shipping suppressors and when YouTube changed its policies and deleted suppressor industry accounts and videos, who do you think intervened?

At the Federal level, suppressors are once again under attack. Senator Bob Menendez Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman continue to push legislation that would ban the sale, manufacturing, transfer, and possession of suppressors nationwide. We will fight this tooth and nail to ensure their tyrannical legislation never becomes law, but we need your help!

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.”

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.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jessica onto our team,” said Knox Williams, Executive Director of ASA. “We’ve known Jessica for years, and have always admired and respected her work ethic and acumen. 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.”

— Knox Williams, Executive Director of ASA

Prior to joining ASA, Jessica was the Vice President of Marketing, Customer Service, and Warranty for ASA sponsor SilencerCo. During that time, she worked directly with ASA on multiple fundraising and awareness campaigns.

“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.”
