Women for Gun Rights (WGR) has announced the formation of its new Advisory Council, marking a significant milestone as the organization celebrates its 10th anniversary. The council brings together respected leaders, veterans, educators, past policymakers and cultural influencers whose experience and public trust will help advance WGR's mission to safeguard the Second Amendment through education, advocacy and responsible firearm ownership.

"We are honored to welcome an extraordinary group of advisors who bring credibility, leadership, and influence from diverse backgrounds," said Dianna Muller, founder of Women for Gun Rights. "Each of these individuals understands that the Second Amendment is not just a political issue; it is a fundamental human right tied to personal safety, responsibility, and freedom. Their experience will help us reach new audiences and strengthen our impact nationwide."

While Women for Gun Rights is a women focused organization, its mission has always been grounded in the belief that self-defense and civil liberties are shared responsibilities that extend beyond gender. Men (husbands, fathers, and sons) play an essential role in supporting the safety and freedom of the women in their lives and in strengthening families and communities as a whole. By incorporating the perspectives of men, who support and stand with women, the Advisory Council expands WGR's capacity to influence policy, educate the public, and advance constitutional freedoms.
