About Julianne Versnel

Julianne Versnel is a senior figure at the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), the Bellevue, Washington-based organization best known for its civil rights litigation, where she serves as Director of Operations. She is also the publisher of Women & Guns magazine and of the Journal on Firearms and Public Policy, SAF’s academic journal, and she sits on the executive committee of the World Forum on Shooting Activities. Her work has given her a prominent role in bringing the gun rights message to women and to international audiences.

In March 2010 she was among the directors of the newly organized International Association for the Protection of Civilian Arms Rights (IAPCAR), which met in Nuremberg, Germany, with gun rights groups from Europe, Canada and the United States. IAPCAR has since grown to 29 member groups from 21 countries and has opposed provisions of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty that ignored civilian arms rights. In March 2013 Versnel testified at the United Nations on behalf of SAF and the American Conservative Union, arguing that the treaty must not restrict women’s ability to defend themselves with firearms.
