The press release can be found HERE. It will explain the who, what, when, where, and why.
There are a few pieces of legislation coming up in Georgia and Arizona when it comes to suppressor hunting. Texas is opening the floor for public comment on their decision to remove the game hunting regulation for suppressor hunting. The pendulum is beginning to swing in our favor a bit more every day. This is 3 large states opeining their books to favorable suppressor laws in one year. Last year there were 3 states that allowed the ownership and use for the first time.
The ASA met with the NFA at SHOT. It was a good introductory meeting, but the news was not so favorable. We have had the helping hand of the great folks at the NRA to get us up and running. We met with the NSSF and large manufacturers like Smith & Wesson, Ruger, H&K, etc. and everyone gave a warm reception and is willing to support our cause. They all seem to make factory guns with threaded barrels, so why wouldn't they?
It is nice to have big manufacturers on board, but truthfully, this movement is a grass roots thing. We need the dealers and the silencer buying public to be on board. To make this easy, I like to give free stuff away, so I am.
Many of you are already fans of my Silenced America Facebook page. If you join the ASA and respond to my FB post, you are in for a chance to win a SAKER. It gets better...if you become an AMBASSADOR (member) of the ASA, and like the ASA FB page, you enter to win the SWR Spectre II that I am giving away, the Outback IID from Gemtech, the Sparrow from SilencerCo, and the Element II from AAC. As the manufacturer interest grows, we encourage them to provide some love too (although they don't have to).
We will be working on suppressor EDUCATION, suppressor hunting rights in states, pushing to get non-suppressor friendly states on board, working on the federal level to do everything we can to reduce wait times, and once we are more 'main stream,' working on some other long term goals. More info will come soon including the info passed from the ATF to us at SHOT.
