Dedicated Grass Roots!
Michigan Gun Owners Mission Statement
Michigan Gun Owners is a not-for-profit grass roots organization committed to educating the public on safe responsible gun ownership and preserving and defending the right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and Article I, section 6 of Michigan’s Constitution.
Revision Adopted February 20, 2010
Why Grass Roots?
We, at MGO, feel that the
best form of activism is done
at the grass roots level. The
first three words in our
country's constitution are "We
the people". In that spirit, a
group of volunteers from all
firearm disciplines gathered
together and put aside their
differences to work toward the
common goal of protecting
and restoring the firearm
rights of law-abiding citizens
in Michigan. We firmly
believe in the power of a
grass roots movement. Join
our common voice and
together, we will work to
secure the rights of
sportsmen, target shooters,
self defense advocates,
collectors and firearm owners
across the state of Michigan.
Aren't there other
groups?
Yes. There are some fine gun
rights groups at both the state
and national level.
Michigan
Gun Owners is dedicated to
grass roots activism.
And we have
a partnership with those that
support our goal to get more
Michigan gun owners involved in
the fight for our rights.
While other
approaches have their merits, we
feel that the real power to effect
positive change is with the voice
of the average voter. When we
win the average voter's support,
it is a win for all gun owners
How do we reach the
average voter?
By having a presence. One
person may offer a hunter's
safety class to a local Boy Scout
troop and someone else can
offer a general safety class to a
church group. Education and
information is the key. Our
members are varied in their skills
and everyone contributes in their
own way.
Do I have to be that
involved to become a
member?
NO. We understand that with
our busy lives it is not always
possible to give time.
Therefore, the option is yours.
Whatever you can do will be
appreciated. You could write a
letter to the editor or keep a
co-worker informed of the
latest laws. Joining now helps
us with our efforts, and when
you have more time, you will
always be welcome to help in
whatever way you feel
comfortable.
