ASA Responds To Acting U.S. Attorney anti-Suppressor Brief in U.S. v. Peterson

WASHINGTON, DC – The American Suppressor Association General Counsel Michael Williams released the following statement in response to Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson’s brief filed in the Fifth Circuit Court’s erroneous ruling that firearm suppressors are not protected by the Second Amendment:

“The Acting U.S. Attorney got this wrong, plain and simple. Suppressors are arms protected under the Second Amendment."

– Michael Williams, General Counsel, ASA

“The Acting U.S. Attorney got this wrong, plain and simple. Suppressors are arms protected under the Second Amendment. We are hopeful that Attorney General Bondi will reconsider the position laid out in this brief and recognize Second Amendment protections for millions of Americans who own and use suppressors for safe exercise of their Second Amendment rights.”
