SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb said this year’s event occurs at a critical time for the Second Amendment movement.
“Our rights have been under continuing and unrelenting attacks from the Biden administration,” Gottlieb said, “while we have seen several Second Amendment victories in the courts and the various state legislatures. We are witnessing continued growth in the number of legally-armed citizens, with more than half of the states now enjoying Constitutional/permitless carry.
“We’ve come a long way since the first GRPC was held in Seattle in 1986,” he added. “We will be delighted to see old friends and make new ones, and we expect this year’s conference to be an awesome event for everyone.”
The Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) is the nation’s oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to more than 700,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control.
