Women for Gun Rights (WGR) held it most impactful Fly-In to date on June 22, 2025, bringing in delegates representing more than 40 states to the nation’s capital to sharpen their skills, speak up for the Second Amendment, and ensure that lawmakers heard directly from the fastest-growing group of gun owners in America.
In addition to state directors, a select group of social media personalities were invited to help reach new audiences beyond the traditional firearms community. With a combined reach of more than 2 million followers, WGR magnified its message, resulting in hundreds of thousands of online impressions.
“We the Free,” America’s newest 2A friendly streaming platform, also filmed a mini docu-series highlighting the Fly-In and several delegates of the organization. The series will premiere later this year on wethefree.com.
“This is what impactful advocacy looks like—showing up with the same intensity and visibility as the opposition,” said Dianna Muller, Founder of Women for Gun Rights. “By doing so, we’re not only influencing lawmakers, but also shifting public perception. We’re actively reshaping the narrative around firearms and responsible gun ownership.”
Equipping Women to Lead
The Fly-In began with a comprehensive training conference focused on empowering women to advocate with clarity, credibility, and confidence.
Sessions covered:
- The History of the Second Amendment, including major court rulings and federal legislation
- Communicating Across Divides, training delegates to connect with those unfamiliar with firearms ownership
- Digital Advocacy, equipping women to combat misinformation and amplify real-world stories online
Rally on Capitol Hill
Delegates and members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League braved triple-digit heat to rally on the grounds of our nation’s capital.
