Longtime Shooting USA host and outdoor celebrity Jim Scoutten has died. Scoutten, 77, died yesterday in Franklin, Tennessee, following a brief illness. A Newton, Iowa native, Scoutten has been a well-known and respected figure in the shooting industry, serving as the longtime host of Shooting USA. As managing editor of Tier One Media, LLC, he created two of the most successful cable television shows on Outdoor Channel. In 2018, the twenty-fifth year of his shooting sports TV career, Scoutten was inducted into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame. There, Scoutten said the message about shooting was always a simple one: “Doesn’t this look like fun? Don’t these people seem like folks you’d enjoy shooting with? Now, here’s how to get involved.” Arrangements are incomplete.

ATLANTA, GA – The American Suppressor Association (ASA) has partnered with some of the top brands in the gun industry to raffle over $12,000 in prizes. This raffle will run from July 14th through July 31st, 2023, participate and help protect your rights.

Owning a suppressor is your constitutionally protected right. However, anti-gun legislators and activists are fighting to deny your rights! Eight states and the District of Columbia still don’t allow law-abiding citizens to possess suppressors. Nine U.S. Senators and fifteen members of the House openly support legislation to ban and confiscate every legally obtained suppressor in the United States. Noncompliance to their tyranny would turn you into a felon!

This year, state legislators in Virginia, New Mexico, Colorado, and Washington all tried to ban or restrict your ability to use these hearing safety devices. This year it happened in four states. Next year it will happen more.
Help ASA protect your right to own and use suppressors by buying a raffle ticket today. Your donations are the lifeblood that gives us the resources to fight for your rights! Visit asaraffle.com
