BELLEVUE, Wash. — Nov. 11, 2025 — The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is pleased to announce that CZ has joined the organization as the newest Gold-level corporate partner.
“CZ is proud to join many firearms manufacturers and become a partner of the Second Amendment Foundation as they lead the way in protecting our rights,” said CZ-USA Chief Marketing Officer Tom Taylor. “While America seems to be locked up in legislative efforts, the Second Amendment Foundation is leading the way with litigation and winning the fight for our gun rights in our local, state and federal courts.”
A subsidiary of the globally recognized Colt/CZ Group, CZ-USA is committed to delivering innovative, reliable and high-performance firearms built with American shooters in mind. Based in Kansas City, Kan., CZ-USA is the exclusive U.S. importer, manufacturer and distributor of CZ-branded firearms, including handguns, rifles and shotguns for competition, personal defense, law enforcement and hunting. CZ-USA also owns and operates Dan Wesson Firearms.
An important aspect of this partnership is CZ’s commitment to host firearm giveaways aimed at raising additional funds that will support SAF’s ongoing work across the country. These initiatives illustrate CZ’s proactive stance in not just participating in the firearms industry but also in bolstering advocacy efforts to protect Second Amendment rights.
“We’re excited to welcome CZ as our latest corporate partner, and truly appreciate their support,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “SAF has been fighting for more than five decades to ensure all Americans have the ability to fully exercise their Second Amendment rights, and it’s refreshing to see new partners come aboard as word spreads about SAF’s critical work. With more than 50 active cases across the country, the support of partners like CZ will allow SAF to continue to defend, secure and restore our right to keep and bear arms.”
In recent years, partnerships like this highlight a growing trend in the firearms community where businesses are increasingly recognizing their role in advocacy. As legal battles over gun rights continue across the United States, the combined efforts of organizations like SAF and corporate partners may prove vital in influencing legislation at local and state levels.
While early reports suggest that the partnership could enhance the visibility and influence of the SAF within legislative circles, the real impact will hinge on how actively CZ engages with SAF’s initiatives moving forward. The implications of this partnership extend not just to advocacy efforts but also to the broader gun culture in America.
As businesses align themselves with established advocacy groups, it signals to both gun owners and legislators that the firearms industry is committed to protecting the rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment. Furthermore, these partnerships may encourage other businesses to follow suit, creating a more unified front in addressing legislative challenges.
In summary, CZ's partnership with SAF not only underscores its commitment to gun rights but also reflects a proactive approach to advocacy within the firearms industry. With ongoing legal challenges looming, the collaboration between corporations and advocacy organizations like SAF can shape the future landscape of gun rights in America. ShoQ's Take: As advocacy continues to gain traction, partnerships such as the one between CZ and SAF become increasingly significant. The collaboration may enhance grassroots efforts, yet the effectiveness will depend on sustained engagement and responsiveness to the challenges ahead. It's essential for stakeholders across the industry to rally around these efforts to solidify their position on Second Amendment rights. The evolving dynamics within the industry will be pivotal as they navigate the increasingly complex landscape of legislation and public perception regarding firearms ownership.
