Industry Spotlight
Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership (DRGO)
Founded in 1994, Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership (DRGO) is a nationwide network of 1,400 medical doctors, other health care professionals, scientists, and others who support the safe and lawful use of firearms for any legitimate purpose.
In their own words, “DRGO educates health professionals and the public in the best available science and expertise about firearms, including gun safety and preventing injury and death through wise use and lawful self defense. We teach what science shows—that guns in responsible hands save lives, reduce injuries, and protect property by preventing violent crime.
By providing commentary and scrutiny of policy and medical literature dealing with firearms ownership, use and misuse, DRGO serves as a guard against biased, policy-directed pseudoscience that would hinder gun ownership under the guise of legitimate science.”
