NASGW Renews Gold-Level Corporate Partnership

The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW), the association representing shooting sports wholesalers, manufacturers and their trade partners, has renewed its corporate partnership with the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) at the Gold level.

“I’m always impressed by the sheer volume of work that the Second Amendment Foundation tackles,” said NASGW president Kenyon Gleason. “What it tells me is that there is still a lot to fight for out there. It’s unfortunate we continue to have to fight so many battles on the legal front, but if someone has to do it, I’m glad it’s the great team at SAF because they know what they’re doing.”

For more than 70 years NASGW has worked to strengthen the business foundation of the shooting sports industry by connecting buyers and sellers, supporting collaboration and creating solutions for the challenges members face. NASGW represents wholesalers, manufacturers and sales representatives across the industry. Today the association continues to advance its mission by offering resources that help businesses operate with confidence, including support in areas such as insurance, banking, credit and data. NASGW remains committed to protecting two-step distribution and this way of life, bringing together like-minded organizations that serve the shooting sports market.

“As a leader in the shooting sports industry, NASGW understands the challenges facing the Second Amendment and the need for organizations like SAF to defend our constitutional rights,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “With more than 55 active cases, including five cert petitions before the Supreme Court, the support of corporate partners like NASGW is paramount. Next year is poised to be significant in the fight for our right to keep and bear arms, and thanks to the continued commitments of our members, donors and corporate partners, we will remain at the tip of the spear battling those who wish to trample our Second Amendment rights.”
