The Second Amendment Foundation is no stranger to the pages of Bearing Arms. SAF is a stalwart guardian of our rights and celebrated 50 years of operation this year. The Foundation runs on donations from its membership and generous partners. Recently the Second Amendment Foundation announced that Daniel Defense has committed to continuing their support of the organization.

On December 19, 2024, SAF said in a release “that Daniel Defense has renewed and upgraded their commitment to the organization as a Platinum-level corporate partner.”

Daniel Defense has been supporting the Foundation for years.

“At Daniel Defense, we’re deeply honored to support the Second Amendment Foundation and their unwavering commitment to protecting the God-given rights of all Americans,” said Rod Reasen, CEO of Daniel Defense. “Their tireless work to defend the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution aligns with our core values of integrity, freedom, and family. Together, we stand strong in ensuring that the rights of responsible gun owners are preserved for generations to come.”

Earlier in the year, Daniel Defense paired up with 2ARaffles. Through the partnership, Daniel Defense donated a special limited-edition rifle for their sweepstakes. Proceeds from that raffle will be going to directly benefit the Second Amendment Foundation.

Founded in 2000 by Founder & Executive Chairman Marty Daniel, Daniel Defense was born from Daniel’s vision to create custom rifle accessories for his personal rifles. Eighteen years later, Daniel Defense’s concepts have evolved into one of the most recognizable brands in the firearms world, consisting of the world’s finest AR15-style rifles, pistols, bolt-action rifles, and accessories for civilian, law enforcement and military customers.

“Much in the same way Daniel Defense is passionate about producing the highest-quality products, SAF takes pride in our strategic litigation efforts to ensure the Second Amendment rights of people across America are defended, secured and restored,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “The fact that SAF has staunch corporate partners like Daniel Defense underscores the commitment we all have to upholding our right to keep and bear arms.”

Support from industry members like Daniel Defense is necessary for the preservation of the Second Amendment. The gun rights culture does not have a handful of ultra-rich benefactors like the anti-freedom movement has. But we do have incredibly generous and successful companies that step up and chip in when they can.

Daniel Defense does not only support great organizations like the Second Amendment Foundation but also has one in its own network. The Double D Foundation was founded “by Daniel Defense Executive Vice President, wife, and mother, Cindy Daniel, is the product of a vision rooted in the protection of the Constitution.”

The Double D Foundation notes that its mission “is to protect the Second Amendment by growing the number of Americans involved in shooting sports, who understand the fundamentals of firearm safety, and who share the core belief that the Second Amendment Defends the Rest.”

Many thanks to Marty Daniel and the folks over at Daniel Defense for their continued support and leadership in this arena. The Second Amendment Foundation has been doing yeoman’s work for over 50 years now.
