Chief editor of the Second Amendment Foundation's Investigative Journalism Project. Recovering newspaperman, tactical shooter, Army vet, ex-LEO, 1*, Rum snob.
I had the honor of meeting and having a great conversation with Mr. Alan Gottlieb, founder and Executive VP of the Second Amendment Foundation. @2AFDN
If it weren’t for the work SAF does publicly and behind the scenes—and Mr. Gottlieb unleashing Lee Williams @HT_GunWriter , Chief Editor of the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project—I would not be writing this post today.
I’d be in a cell.
Thank you, Mr. Gottlieb, for what you did for me. I’ll never forget it.
Tate Adamiak @TateAdamiak kicking off the AMM-Con 2026 speakers weeks after his pardon talking about how the mainstream media ignored his situation and that one "alternative" media journalist (SAF's IJP journalist Lee Williams @HT_GunWriter ) saw the injustice and was relentless until he was free.
I’ve been waiting for this moment for years.
I finally got to meet Lee Williams @HT_GunWriter in person at the Second Amendment Foundation’s Gun Rights Policy Conference. @2AFDN
It’s surreal to finally shake the hands of some of the many people who refused to let me be forgotten—and Lee has been one of those people.
There are so many more people here I can’t wait to meet.
If you’re at GRPC, please find me. Let’s get a photo together. 🇺🇸
Journalist Lee Williams & Patrick "Tate" Adamiak sharing Tate's harrowing experience of being wrongly accused by Biden's pathetic ATF/DOJ and sent to prison for 20years. Thankfully, because of William's persistent coverage, Tate was recently fully pardoned by President Trump!
At an undisclosed location in Texas journalist @HT_GunWriter and @TateAdamiak discuss how the weaponized and politicized @ATFHQ wrongfully prosecuted and stole four years from the life of a patriot who wanted only to serve his country.
Ladies and gentlemen…Patrick ”Tate” Adamiak and Lee Williams.
Tate @TateAdamiak is finally FREE thanks to a Presidential pardon and the endless resilience of one of the best 2A journalists on the planet, Mr. Lee Williams. Several 2A creators pitched in as well to help right this wrong!! @HT_GunWriter@2AFDN
Everybody asserts that the Second Amendment protects the First.
But @TateAdamiak's testimony in front of a crowd of journalists today in Texas suggests that the First Amendment has had a significant impact in protecting 2A rights, at least for one individual, and perhaps many more who are similarly situated.
@HT_GunWriter
What a fantastic comeback for Tate and Lee played a huge role in drawing attention to this travesty of injustice. Now where are the criminal charges against the prosecution for fabricating evidence?
Tate Adamiak bought me dinner last night. He insisted. Best fish & chips I've ever had. I introduce him to the country's pro-gun media in about two hours. It's gonna be a great day! @2AFDN#GRPC#AAMcon
