In a bold move that’s music to the ears of Second Amendment advocates, Silencer Central’s founder and CEO Brandon Maddox has dropped $25,000 into the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s (NSSF) Protect Liberty PAC. This isn’t pocket change—it’s a strategic investment aimed at fortifying pro-2A candidates ahead of the 2026 midterms, with a laser focus on battleground states where voters will decide the fate of our gun rights. Maddox, whose company has revolutionized suppressor ownership through its streamlined, trust-based buying process (bypassing the ATF’s notorious wait times), is putting his money where his mouth is, signaling that the industry isn’t just defending the line—it’s advancing it.
What makes this contribution particularly savvy is the timing and target. With progressive gun control zealots like those pushing assault weapon bans and red-flag laws gaining traction in urban strongholds, Protect Liberty PAC will use these funds to flood key districts with ads exposing candidates’ true colors on Constitutional carry, suppressor rights, and resistance to Biden-era regs. Maddox’s play underscores a broader industry shift: from reactive lobbying to proactive offense. Silencer Central, already a darling of the 2A world for making NFA items accessible, is now bankrolling the political armor that could shield innovations like next-gen quiet tech from bureaucratic strangulation. It’s a reminder that Big Suppressor is stepping up as Big Gun’s vanguard.
For the 2A community, the implications are electric—this cash infusion could tip razor-thin races, preserving the fragile House and Senate majorities needed to kill HR 8-style nightmares and maybe even roll back the pistol brace rule. Maddox isn’t just a CEO; he’s a patriot investor betting on liberty’s survival. If you’re in a swing state, expect your mailbox and feeds to light up with truth bombs come election season. Time to rally: support PACs like this, vote like your rights depend on it (they do), and keep buying those cans—because a silenced rifle is a defended Republic.
