The event looked nothing like the rabid, masked, sloppy, violence-ridden \u201cmostly peaceful protests\u201d from the left, however, as these proud patriots came with a focused and cogent agenda. That plan included equipping women to lead in the fight for their rights through a comprehensive training conference meant to empower them with the clarity, credibility, and confidence necessary to effectively advocate for the God-given liberty recognized and enshrined in the United States Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>The conference, rooted in education rather than setting fires and looting, covered Second Amendment history, legislation, and major court rulings that have shaped the gun rights landscape into what it is today. It also included training in how to communicate effectively with those who have yet to become familiar with firearm ownership, and lessons on digital advocacy, enabling them to combat the rampant misinformation spread by politicians, the media, and the sycophantic sheep who can\u2019t bother to take part in civil discourse and would rather be marched into their own demise like well trained cattle.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But what good is education without a practical use? That\u2019s why the WGR conference was a warm-up to prepare for the group\u2019s next objective, a rally on Capitol Hill. You see, this Fly-In was attended not only by WGR state representatives but also by select social media influencers and personalities, with the goal of amplifying women\u2019s voices in the Second Amendment debate through a broader spectrum of audiences across America. Reaching out to those audiences proved effective, as WGR was able to connect with over 2 million followers and garner hundreds of thousands of online impressions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what impactful advocacy looks like\u2014showing up with the same intensity and visibility as the opposition\u2026 By doing so, we\u2019re not only influencing lawmakers, but also shifting public perception. We\u2019re actively reshaping the narrative around firearms and responsible gun ownership,\u201d said Dianna Muller, WGR\u2019s Founder.<\/p>\n<p>Despite excessive triple-digit heat on the day of the rally, the Virginia Citizens Defense League took center stage in front of the Capitol, with speakers delivering educated and powerful commentary on the importance of the Second Amendment and why all Americans need to embrace their right to self-preservation, taking personal responsibility for their safety and that of their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>A conference and a rally sound like a great idea. And that\u2019s where this story\u2026 Nope, there\u2019s more.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, WGR held more than 100 meetings on Capitol Hill within only two days, speaking with members of Congress and their staff, presenting them with facts and evidence through real-life experience, and doing so while remaining cordial, regardless of which side of the aisle they represented. I respect this and confess that I wish I still had the patience and the disposition of these amazing women, but regular readers will recognize this as not being my strong suit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"thetr-5737fc37904224bf2eea5299758437da\" class=\"thetr-5737fc37904224bf2eea5299758437da thetr-content-middle\">\n<div id=\"thetr-1834645513\" class=\"thetr-content-middle\">\n<div id=\"thetr-1813507576\" class=\"thetr-target\" data-thetr-trackid=\"158799\" data-thetr-trackbid=\"1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For those of you wondering which topics were on the agenda, here\u2019s the list, courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrawomen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nrawomen.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Legislation Supported by WGR:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (H.R. 38 \/ S. 65)<\/li>\n<li>Veterans 2A Protection Act (H.R. 1041 \/ S. 478)<\/li>\n<li>Hearing Protection Act (H.R. 404 \/ S. 364)<\/li>\n<li>SHORT Act (H.R. 2395 \/ S. 1162)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Legislation Opposed by WGR:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Handgun Purchase Permits (H.R. 532 \/ S. 123)<\/li>\n<li>Red Flag Law Support (S. 889)<\/li>\n<li>Gun Trafficker Detection Act (H.R. 1456)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Clearly, WGR is a serious organization conducting itself in a manner that is admirable, organized, and effective. But wait, there\u2019s more\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Obviously not keen on wasted airfare, WGR also met with the White House Domestic Policy Council, urging the Trump administration to create a Second Amendment Advisory Board consisting of experts from the law enforcement, mental health, and firearms community. The group also advocated for the reinstatement of the CDC\u2019s 2013 defensive gun use research, which provides data on the estimated 2 million crimes that are prevented annually by lawful gun owners. Additionally, WGR encouraged the administration to recognize top shooting sports competitors at the White House in August during\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shootingsportsmonth.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Shooting Sports Month<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The group also voiced concern over ongoing censorship online, predominantly leveled against content creators and activists, including discrimination by financial institutions attempting to cause irreparable damage to lawful firearms businesses.<\/p>\n<p>And just when you thought WGR had all their bases covered, I present you with the icing on the cake. The group invited one of America\u2019s newest Second Amendment-friendly streaming platforms,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wethefree.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We the Free<\/a>, out to film a docu-series, following WGR\u2019s Fly-In event and several delegates within the organization, which will premiere later this year.<\/p>\n<p>I am thoroughly impressed by WGR\u2019s advocacy, organization, and overall presentation, if you haven\u2019t already noticed. So much so, in fact, that I bet they could teach me to be a little less abrasive and perhaps even help me return to a time when I presented with more decorum. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll let them cover that sector since they do such a superb job of it, and I will likely remain the same grumpy curmudgeon willing to square up any time with the worst of America\u2019s subversive enemies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"awac-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"awac widget block-57\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"thetr-471355c8a6ad9298c87a4cf02f54f308\" class=\"thetr-471355c8a6ad9298c87a4cf02f54f308 thetr-after-content\">\n<div id=\"thetr-2499371595\" class=\"thetr-after-content\">\n<div id=\"thetr-320849615\" class=\"thetr-target\" data-thetr-trackid=\"158780\" data-thetr-trackbid=\"1\">\n<div id=\"gpt-ad-2663745632280-0\" data-google-query-id=\"CMT4pZ-cro4DFfkNigMd2DsJmg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women for Gun Rights Takes The Fight To Washington D.C.
