Lights... Camera... Action! The American Suppressor Association is excited to welcome you to our new video series - Mystery Silence Theater - where Hollywood's depiction of silencers gets put to the test! 

In each episode of the series, we’re going to take a look at a tv show or movie that uses suppressors and let you know how accurate their depiction of the sound really is. Is it based in reality, or as real as the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park?

There's only one way to find out! Visit ASA on YouTube to watch the inaugural episode, where we take on Amazon Prime's new-ish show Reacher. 

 

On July 12th, Steve Dettlebach was confirmed by the US Senate to become the next ATF Director. He was sworn in at a private ceremony soon thereafter. Director Dettlebach is the first Senate Confirmed Director at ATF since B. Todd famously resigned in March, 2015 after attempting to reclassify M855 ammunition as armor piercing. 

As the trade association for the suppressor industry, it is our job to work with and keep tabs on ATF, and as such, we hope that Director Dettlebach is able to put aside his personal anti-gun opinions as he leads the governing agency tasked with enforcing federal firearms laws. Should he issue any directives that negatively impact suppressors, you will be among the first to know.
