The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has created a new accolade – The Golden Bowtie Award – and honored its first recipient at this year’s Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC). Recipients of the Golden Bowtie are people and/or organizations who have made significant contributions of time, talent and treasure to SAF and its mission.
“SAF founder Alan Gottlieb is a lover of the bowtie,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “If you look back at any photos of Alan throughout the years, he is always wearing his signature neck piece. We wanted to create an award that embodied Alan’s spirit and character while recognizing other’s contributions to SAF’s success. The Golden Bowtie does just that.”
Tom Taylor, Executive Vice President, Global Brand Development at SIG SAUER and member of SAF’s Board of Trustees, was presented the award at the annual GRPC in San Diego.
“I am thrilled to be the inaugural recipient of this prestigious award,” Taylor said. “SAF is truly working on the front lines fighting for our Second Amendment rights, and it’s a privilege to be honored as the first Golden Bowtie award winner. I will proudly wear the bowtie as a reminder that our civil liberties are always under attack and as a symbol of how SAF fights every day to ensure our Second Amendment rights are defended, secured and restored.”
Under his leadership, SIG SAUER jumped on board as SAF’s first major corporate partner. In addition to significant financial contributions, Taylor’s team has contributed to SAF in a number of other ways including helping with the organization’s 2023 rebrand and providing advice on various means to enhance the SAF brand.
“I am thrilled the SAF team recognized the great contributions of Tom and SIG SAUER,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “The award was as surprising to me as it was to Tom, and I’m honored that such an award was created with me in mind. For the past 50 years the fight has not been about me, but about the movement, and I am thrilled we can now recognize people like Tom who go above and beyond to support SAF and its mission.”

Does Sig’s hand guns still go “bang” accidentally or did they fix that? The P320 I believe is the model?
Who down voted me this time? Was that you Ledesma? Getout? AZLEFTY?
Actually I had forgotten to down vote you. My bad! Thanks for the reminder.
You dislike me so much, and yet you can’t keep from coming back. Strange.
Brought you back to zero and added a down vote myself. Can’t figure out how he got Sig guns out of this article.
Have a great day.
You’re a strange one.
No, you are the Strange One. I was watching you having another episode last night here on Ammoland. You went back and forth with Yourself, ranting and raving on several different threads. Are you taking SSRIs? If so, you need to go see your doc and get another evaluation, dude.
So, one, how is Musicman44mag, randomly coming and downvoting me out of the blue, and making a strange comment, not strange?
And two, you were watching me ranting and raving with myself over what?
I guess I can’t talk to you cause of Brian censoring my comment. Maybe you’ll see it tomorrow.
Testing…
My reply was being censored.
Why is it not strange that musicman44mag comes after a random comment out of the blue, and down votes and thinks it’s amusing?
What was this strange back and forth I had with myself? And if it was so strange, why’d you watch?
So now, why do you think I take medication?
Why do I think you are on medication? Because of your incessant talking to yourself in the middle of the night on Ammoland, and then responding to MM this morning. Maybe you are not on medication. Maybe you are self medicating with legal/illegal substances or maybe you are Bipolar?
If you can’t remember last night, maybe you should check out your posts in your account, and when/if you do that, you will see what I mean. If you don’t see it, you really do have a serious problem. You have done this in the past. That’s all.
So because I tend to be a night owl, and post on here, as I browse the articles, and point out the problems I see with other people’s arguments that makes me mental? You’ll notice Musicman44mag, has been shadowing me here for months, ever since we had a difference of opinion. Periodically he’ll respond with some nutty line. Again, does that make me mental? If you’re going to accuse someone of being mentally ill, or perhaps a druggy, then you should, presuming you are genuinely concerned about the person, provide some specifics. Now, will you see this, or will this… Read more »
I see this…….what is it you want? An argument? Have you gone back and checked your posts last night, like I suggested you to do?
It appears that you want nothing more than to be heard and respected, as we all do. You asked a question as to why somebody downvoted you and then blamed Ledesema. You don’t seem to get the answers or respect that you want, so you take it further…You either need to take a hint or get a clue……
Not an argument. I just want you to provide a specific example. Yes, Ledesma, Getout, AzLefty. They are, I think the same guy, just different accounts. I was goading them. Periodically I find it amusing to poke holes in their lies and get their panties in a bind. I was bored for a little while last night. So? I think you’re thinking way too much into this. And if you really did think I was having mental issues, why not just ask, as opposed to say I must be having some? Would it kill you to be even sorta kinda… Read more »
I tried responding. But it wouldn’t post. Maybe you’ll see it later today or tomorrow.
My answer to your above question is awaiting approval.
awaiting approval
My last two replies and comments are to others are being censored too.
See it now?
Yes. I tried replying but it won’t let me.
