Welcome LT. Colonel Allen West to SAI's Board of Directors!

I am deeply humbled and honored by this distinction and I accept.” West on his nomination to SAI's Board of Directors on April 23, 2022.

From BearingArms.com Author John Petrolino:

There are several national Second Amendment organizations throughout the country. Many like the?Second Amendment Foundation,?National Rifle Association,?Firearms Policy Coalition, and?Gun Owners of America?don’t need much introduction, people know these organizations and the work they do. What about some of the lesser known groups that are advocating for our Second Amendment right??The Second Amendment Institute?(SAI) is a group that started in 2016 and is gaining momentum. SAI has gained enough notoriety and momentum that they’ve attracted the support of some heavy hitters in the political arena, as well as the Second Amendment community. From a recent press release, Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West (USA, Ret) has accepted an appointment to SAI’s board.

West joins several other board members in supporting SAI such as Cheryl Todd from Gun Freedom Radio, Maj Toure from Black Guns Matter, and George Lyon, an accomplished attorney and one of the original plaintiffs in the?Heller?case, to name a few.

Amy Swearer (Senior Legal Policy Expert of the Heritage Foundation) and Philip Van Cleave (President of VCDL), joined the ranks of other Second Amendment Champions like Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Lt. Governor Mark Robinson (NC), and Dick Heller, as they accepted their SAI Second Amendment Champion Award in June at the Country Club of Virginia.

Swearer and Van Cleave were joined by fifty staunch Second Amendment supporters from across Virginia, along with LTCOL. Allen West via video message, SAI Board Member Sheriff Mike Lewis, and SAI President Tyler Yzaguirre, for an invite-only banquet.

Swearer, whose legal expertise in gun rights policy knows no limits, stated she was "...humbled and proud to accept this award." Her speech focused on her powerhouse testimonies before gun-grab Democrats on Capitol Hill and the importance of knowing your facts. Van Cleave's speech focused on Virginia's battle against Democratic lawmakers throughout the state attempting to pass gun control laws.

SAI Board Member and gun rights expert Attorney, George Lyon, appeared on One America News July 12, 2022 to discuss his case of suing D.C. for its ban of concealed carry on public transportation.

With the help of gun rights expert attorney George Lyon, SAI President Tyler Yzaguirre joined onto two lawsuits suing D.C. for its unconstitutional gun control laws post Bruen.

The two lawsuits include suing D.C. for its ban of concealed carryon public transportation and for D.C.'s large capacity magazine ban.

From the Washington Post:

Although the lawsuit challenges only the ban on guns in the transit system, George L. Lyon Jr., a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said other locations on the prohibition list are “questionable” and could be the focus of future litigation."
