When most Americans envision a gun rights advocate, the image that springs to mind is often a rugged, camo-clad man with years of hunting or military experience under his belt. But the fastest-growing demographic of gun owners in America might surprise you: women.
Yes, women—suburban moms, career professionals, college students, and grandmothers—are increasingly embracing their 2nd Amendment rights. And they’re not just buying firearms. They’re learning how to use them, training each other, and shaping the narrative around gun ownership as an issue of personal safety, not politics.
At this year’s National Rifle Association (NRA) Convention, Patriot Mobile was out in full force, supporting thousands of Second Amendment advocates in attendance. Women for Gun Rights, a nationwide organization of women committed to safeguarding the Second Amendment, also had a strong presence. During the event, the Patriot Mobile team caught up with founder Dianna Muller, a 22-year Tulsa Police Department veteran and two-time national 3-Gun champion, along with Alexis Wilkins, country music artist turned political commentator, who just assumed the role of Director of Strategic Communications. Together, they’re leading a cultural shift by empowering women to embrace their Second Amendment rights, and Patriot Mobile is proud to support this growing movement.
Alexis Wilkins Joins the Second Amendment Fight
“I come from the world of country music, and I joke that I accidentally fell into political commentary,” Wilkins told us with a laugh. “But I’ve always been a constitutionalist first.”
Wilkins, whose musical performances graced the stage during the multi-day NRA Convention, has long seen the Second Amendment as more than a political talking point. “The Second Amendment is the bolster of the First,” she said. “It’s always been something I deeply believed in.”
In her new role, Wilkins will serve as an additional public voice and strategic mind behind Women for Gun Rights. But her mission isn’t to compete with existing organizations like the NRA or Gun Owners of America—it’s to complement them.
“We’re not trying to be one of the legacy titans,” Wilkins explained. “We’re a supplementary voice. We’re here to support, collaborate, and speak to women who haven’t been engaged before by the 2A world—particularly suburban moms and wives who’ve been targeted by groups like Moms Demand Action.”
The Battle for Public Opinion
With billionaire-funded campaigns like Everytown for Gun Safety pouring millions into shaping the narrative, Women for Gun Rights recognizes the urgency of countering that message. “It’s dangerous to allow Moms Demand Action to dominate the conversation unchecked,” Wilkins said. “They support so-called ‘common sense’ gun laws that ultimately make our kids less safe.”
She isn’t just talking about policy debates. Wilkins is deeply concerned about the manipulation of data, media messaging, and emotional appeals used by anti-gun groups to sway unsuspecting voters.
“What we’re doing is a public opinion shift,” Wilkins added. “We’re bringing in media personalities, fitness influencers, mom bloggers—people who already have a rapport with these women—to deliver a different message: that this isn’t about guns. It’s about safety and personal responsibility.”
And who better to deliver that message than women themselves?
Dianna Muller: A Leader for a Safer Future
Dianna Muller understands the power of firearms not just as tools, but as equalizers. “We are smaller and less equipped for violence,” Muller said at a recent congressional hearing. “Firearms level the playing field in an attack from a larger, faster assailant.” After decades in law enforcement and on the competitive shooting circuit, she’s seen firsthand how education and training can change lives.
Muller is passionate about empowering the next generation of women to protect themselves and help prevent tragic incidents like the daylight attack and murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley. “Women are choosing to carry to protect a life, not to take a life,” she said. “Women for Gun Rights is intent on empowering women and creating victors, not victims.”
Patriot Mobile Stands with Women for Gun Rights
“As a company rooted in faith, family, and freedom, we are proud to stand with Women for Gun Rights and support their mission to educate, equip, and empower women to protect themselves and their families,” said Leigh Wambsganss, Patriot Mobile’s Chief Communications Officer. “The right to self-defense is one of the most fundamental rights we have as Americans, and it’s time we celebrate the women who are boldly leading that charge.”
With a robust structure of state directors, Women for Gun Rights continues to grow, actively recruiting members and encouraging women to lead in their communities.
“Anyone can join,” Wilkins said. “It’s free to become a member. You can sign up for updates, donate if you like, or even apply to be a state director. We’re especially looking for passionate women in states like Colorado.”
