About DRGO:
Founded in 1994, Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership is a non-profit program of the Second Amendment Foundation. We are a nationwide advocacy and watchdog group of physicians and other health professionals who support the safe and lawful use of firearms. We endorse education, not restrictive legislation, to promote true gun safety. We insist that public interest decisions must be based on good science rather than agenda-driven propaganda.
DRGO members have testified to Congress and state legislatures, contributed to amicus curiae briefs for the U.S. Supreme Court and appellate courts, presented to medical societies and the public, and have written and been interviewed for many national media outlets. DRGO scrutinizes public health studies dealing with firearms ownership, use and misuse, and exposes spurious advocacy research that would undermine Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
So? Does this mean that if medical doctors are a good source of advice concerning firearms, that I should consult my gunsmith if I were to sprain my ankle?
