Kenyon Gleason, president and secretary of the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW), has been elected to the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) Board of Trustees.
“Second Amendment Foundation’s work in the Second Amendment space is second to none, and I am honored to now be an integral part of the organization,” Gleason said. “NASGW came on board as a SAF corporate partner earlier this year, and it’s a privilege to now be able to donate my time and lend my expertise to help guide the organization as they continue to fight for our constitutional rights across the country.”
Prior to taking over at NASGW, Gleason was the vice president of development and field operations for the American Road and Transportation Builders Association in Washington, D.C., focused on U.S. transportation-related issues, legislation, and advocacy. He also has more than 30 years of media, communications, marketing, public and government relations experience in a variety of industries including healthcare, education, transportation, agriculture and the shooting sports.
“We are truly fortunate to have Kenyon join the SAF Board of Trustees,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “For the past 50 years SAF has fought to defend, secure and restore our right to keep and bear arms in courtrooms across the nation – including the U.S. Supreme Court. As we move into 2025 and beyond, Kenyon’s expertise and dedication to safeguarding the Second Amendment will be a great asset.”
“Kenyon will be a great addition to the Second Amendment Foundation board,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “His vast experience across all facets of the industry will be welcomed as we continue to fight those who wish to trample our civil liberties.”

Second Amendment Foundation
The Second Amendment Foundation (saf.org) is the nation’s oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing, and legal action group dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the fundamental rights of individuals enshrined in the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. SAF engages in aggressive legal action to ensure the principles of armed self-defense, personal liberty, and the ownership of arms are defended, secured, and restored. Through public education initiatives, SAF teaches the importance of the Second Amendment to promote a society that values and exercises the right to keep and bear arms.
I do wonder about the cost of an ever expanding BoD at SAF and hope the service is voluntary. Airfare and accommodations to the GRPC is OK but that’s about it. So far there is no indication that Adam Kraut is the next LaPierre but he deserves a watchful eye.
I don’t get it. So he was a lobbyist it sounds like for road construction companies? Now a lobbyist for sporting goods distributors? Now joins SAF? Sounds like he follows the money.
