Washington state-based gun group Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has announced a partnership with former NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox via his current venture -Capitol 6 Advisors.
The SAF noted the following in a press release issued last week:
“Cox spent 25 years at the National Rifle Association, including 18 as Executive Director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, where he served as the NRA’s chief political, legislative, and legal strategist. Away from politics, he founded an effort to enlist leading cultural brands and talents in the country music industry to promote a wholesome American lifestyle that includes a legacy of responsible gun ownership. He has been a frequent analyst on national news programs and was a primetime speaker during the 2016 Republican National Convention. Cox has been published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Daily Caller, and other notable publications. He got his start in Washington in the 1990s as a senior legislative aide to a veteran Member of Congress, managing issues relating to the judicial system and criminal justice reform “
SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut noted, “SAF has been the nation’s leading force in the Second Amendment litigation world. As we look towards the future, I am humbled and excited to have another major influence in the Second Amendment sphere, along with his talented team, available as a resource to help me implement my ideas and shape SAF’s trajectory for the next 50 years.”
Chris Cox also added that the “Second Amendment faces unprecedented attacks and America’s law-abiding gun owners deserve real and transparent leadership. I’m proud to deploy my decades of experience advancing the cause of freedom alongside a team I respect and trust. SAF’s best days are ahead of it and law-abiding gun owners everywhere depend on it.”
SAF President Alan Gottlieb supported efforts to oust NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre last year.
Good! The NRA can use all the help it can get. Many don’t understand that the Second Amendment was created to help them defend themselves against a totalitarian government. In addition to that the Second Amendment was written to help protect the First Amendment. If any who want total gun confiscation would take the trouble to read the US. Constitution they might possibly understand.
