RUGGED SUPPRESSORS INVESTS $50,000 IN ASA’S 2026 ADVOCACY EFFORTS

Travelers Rest, SC – The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is pleased to announce that Rugged Suppressors has reaffirmed its commitment to the fight for suppressor reform with a $50,000 contribution in support of ASA’s 2026 legislative and advocacy initiatives.

As momentum continues to build around modernizing outdated suppressor regulations, Rugged Suppressors remains firmly committed to ensuring lawful firearm owners are no longer burdened by unnecessary federal restrictions.

“At Rugged Suppressors, we know suppressors are safety devices plain and simple,” said Michael Derdziak, CEO of Rugged Suppressors. “The current regulatory framework under the National Firearms Act is outdated and unsupported by evidence. ASA continues to lead the charge in changing that reality, and we’re proud to stand behind their efforts with meaningful support.”

Known for engineering some of the toughest suppressors on the market, Rugged Suppressors has built its reputation on durability, performance, and innovation. That same forward-thinking mindset extends beyond product development to protecting the rights of responsible Americans who rely on suppressors for hearing safety and shooting sports participation.

“Rugged Suppressors understands that real change requires sustained commitment,” said Knox Williams, Executive Director of the ASA. “Their $50,000 investment strengthens our ability to engage lawmakers, educate decision-makers, and advance policies that reflect the facts about suppressors. Michael and his team don’t just talk about reform,  they actively support it.”

Through partnerships with industry leaders like Rugged Suppressors, the ASA remains focused on reducing regulatory barriers and ensuring suppressors are recognized for what they are: critical hearing protection tools deserving of fair treatment under federal law.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN SUPPRESSOR ASSOCIATION

The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is the unified voice of the suppressor community. We exist for one reason and one reason only: to fight for pro-suppressor reform nationwide.

The ability of the American Suppressor Association to fight for pro-suppressor reform is tied directly to our ability to fundraise. Since the ASA’s formation in 2011, we have helped 3 states legalize suppressor ownership, 19 states legalize suppressor hunting, multiple states defeat attempts to ban suppressors, and dramatically reduce NFA wait times. This would not have happened without your support. Join us in the fight to help protect and expand your right to own and use suppressors by becoming an ASA Member at  www.ASAMember.com.
