A Girl & A Gun Goes to Washington DC

January 9, 2018 by David Dolbee Leave a Comment

Women from around the country are preparing to travel to the U.S. Capitol as part of the A Girl & A Gun DC Project, a nonpartisan initiative that brings 50 women, one from each state, to Washington DC, to meet with their legislators about issues addressing the Second Amendment.

The DC Project was started by champion shooter Dianna Muller in 2016 to encourage female shooters to meet with legislators in order to give politicians a direct connection to the fastest growing demographic of gun owners. Females provide unique stories and perspectives on the attraction of the 2nd Amendment, including competition shooting sports, commerce, self-defense, hunting, and conservation.

As a side note, I recently had the opportunity to attend a Fantasy 3-Gun Camp sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) with the Diana Muller and her husband Ryan as two of the instructors. The camp was nothing short of amazing, and the Muller’s devotion and support for the Second Amendment was shown to be harder than AR500 steel.

The women, who will be meeting with Congressional members and staff from June 20-23, 2018, have diverse professional experiences, ethnicity, and political beliefs, but share a common interest centered on the appreciation of America’s gun culture.

“The Second Amendment is part of the United States Constitution and does not belong to one party,” said Muller. “Female gun owners are diverse, and have individualized stories and accounts of why this Amendment is so important to them. These stories need to be shared as they are representative of many within legislators’ constituencies.”

A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League (AG & AG) is the presenting sponsor of the DC Project. With a nationwide network of firearms instructors and female gun owners,A Girl & A Gun is a strong voice for the Second Amendment. Robyn Sandoval, Executive Director, is making her third trip with the DC Project to meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

“A Girl & A Gun is honored to be a part of this initiative. As a mother who was a supporter of gun control for decades, I now devote my life to empowering women with the safe use and storage of firearms,” said Sandoval. “It is important that our lawmakers learn our stories and have access to our resources for education on gun-related issues.”

The DC Project will host several events during the week as participants give speeches and meet with lawmakers to address the rising demographic of female gun ownership; the value of the 2nd Amendment in today’s society; and the importance of the preservation of America’s gun culture, from conservation and commerce to competitive sports, hunting, and self-defense.
