the calling to defend the second amendment

The Second Amendment Institute is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in June 2016 by Tyler Yzaguirre. The organization’s mission is to educate, activate, and empower individuals to be effectively mobilized for the Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment Institute's most important goal is to educate. In this way, SAI can combat attacks on all American's Constitutional right to bear arms and aid in the prevention of inappropriate gun control measures. 

Disseminating facts also exposes unjustified and incorrect rhetoric. By sharing the truth, SAI may also change the hearts and minds of gun control advocates.

Meanwhile, SAI remains hard at work recruiting the next generation of Second Amendment supporters, including those that stand behind strengthening self-defense policies on college campuses. 

sECOND AMENDMENT INSTITUTE IN ACTION

The Second Amendment Institute fights at the front of the lines in defense of your second amendment rights. No other second amendment rights organization in the country possesses such a diverse team and unique opportunity to effectively combat the radical gun-grabbing agenda.

Through SAI’s national college program of Students for Self-Defense, more than 3,500 college students have been recruited since 2016 to fight for their self-defense rights on their respective campuses.

SAI’s educational advocacy grassroots battle plan has reached more than 3.6 million Americans through online channels, direct mail, and events.

In short, SAI is a non-political gun rights organization that will stand the test of time, and reach all Americans despite political ideologies. With your help, SAI can continue to be our nation’s premier gun rights organization and secure our freedom’s future.
