** BREAKING:
Biden Selects Anti-Gun Lobbyist To Lead ATF
------------------------------------------------------------
Today, President Biden announced his nomination of anti-gun lobbyist David Chipman to serve as Director of ATF. If approved by the Senate, Chipman will become the Bureau's first permanent Director since 2015. A former ATF Agent, Chipman currently serves as Senior Policy Advisor at Giffords, the anti-gun organization founded by former Representative Gabby Giffords.

In this capacity, Chipman testified in opposition to the Hearing Protection Act during the SHARE Act's House Natural Resources hearing in September 2017.

For this reason, ASA strongly opposes Chipman's nomination for ATF Director. We call on all gun owners to contact their Senators and urge them to oppose Chipman's nomination.

** Pro-Suppressor Legislation In Seven States & One US Territory!
------------------------------------------------------------

Hagåtña, Guam – On Monday, April 5^th, Guam’s Committee on Public Safety, Emergency Response, Military and Veteran’s Affairs, Mayor’s Council, and Public Transit hosted a virtual public hearing ([link removed]) on legislation that seeks to legalize suppressor ownership within the island territory. Introduced by Senator V. Anthony Ada, Bill No. 73-36 ([link removed](COR).pdf) , titled The Hearing Protection Act of 2021, has three additional cosponsors: Sen. Frank Blas Jr., Sen. Christopher Duenas, and Sen. James Moylan. If enacted, Guam, a U.S. Territory, would join the 42 states where suppressors are currently legal to own.

Knox Williams, Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association, provided testimony in support of the pro-suppressor legislation. Given the 14-hour time difference, the hearing, which took place at 2:00 PM local time in Guam, began at 12:00 AM Eastern on Easter Sunday.

“Testifying alongside so many local residents in support of Senator Ada’s bill was an absolute privilege,” said Knox Williams. “The hearing made one thing abundantly clear: local Guamanians want the ability to protect their hearing with suppressors. As law-abiding citizens, they deserve to have that right. We at ASA will do everything in our power to help turn Guam’s HPA into law.”
