Why Women Don’t Need Training from Anti-Gun Organizations

Everytown for Gun Safety has decided to offer training. In truth, if they were really about gun safety, they’d have started there and focused their attentions on that instead of pushing for gun control throughout the years.

This is a controversial decision, and a lot of people are less than thrilled with the idea on either side of the debate.

However, while some might feel that this is a solid idea, it’s not.

Over at Human Events, Robyn Sandoval has thoughts about just why it’s a terrible idea for women in particular.

Think about the irony. These are the same groups that claim the Second Amendment is obsolete, insist no one “needs” a gun, and argue that firearms make families less safe. Now they want to be seen as trusted sources for firearms instruction? It’s as backwards as letting burglars write your home security manual or foxes guard the henhouse.

This isn’t a genuine change of heart — it’s a calculated strategy. They know that if new gun owners connect with trusted, pro-Second Amendment communities, they’ll lose their influence for good. So, they’re attempting to insert themselves into the training space to control the message from within. These gun control groups don’t support your constitutional rights, but they are masquerading as a trusted resource because they want to shape how you exercise them and dilute your empowerment.

New gun owners, especially women, don’t need lessons from groups that see their very ownership as a threat. They need guidance from professionals who are passionate about safety, freedom, and responsible gun use. That’s where A Girl & A Gun shines.

A Girl & A Gun is a training program, but even more so, it’s a nationwide community of highly credentialed firearms instructors and mentors dedicated to empowering women. Through expert instruction, supportive events, and a welcoming environment, A Girl & A Gun helps women feel capable, confident, and in control of their personal safety. It’s not about fear. It’s about freedom. It’s not about shame. It’s about strength.

While some women want nothing to do with the macho aspects of gun culture, they still want to learn to defend themselves. For some, that includes not being afraid of shooting, likely because too many well-meaning but ultimately idiotic men told them that a 9mm was too much for them or something equally stupid.

They need an outlet to learn, and I halfway suspect that Everytown figures they can fill that niche.

But that niche is already filled by people who don’t want to restrict people’s rights. It’s filled by people who recognize the Second Amendment for what it is and celebrate it.

We all know that Everytown’s so-called training is going to be filled with instructions not premised on defensive gun uses, but likely crap like keeping guns and ammo stored separately, locked up in two different locations–two different safes, even–where it will be useless for home defense. A woman who doesn’t find the rest of gun culture attractive is unlikely to know why that’s a bad idea–of course, this also applies to men who want nothing to do with the rest of us, too, for the record.

I agree with Sandoval regarding what new gun owners, particularly women, don’t need.
