Who is Aaron Dorr?

Aaron Dorr, Executive Director of Iowa Gun Owners

Aaron Dorr is a veteran political activist with nearly twenty years of experience fighting for the Second Amendment in state legislatures across Missouri, Iowa, New York, Georgia, Wyoming, Indiana, Illinois, and Washington State.

He has led successful legislative fights for Constitutional Carry, Stand-Your-Ground law, the Second Amendment Preservation Act, and bans on Red Flag laws. His efforts have helped pass pro-gun laws, stop radical gun control, and remove nearly 100 anti-gun incumbents from office.

In New York State, Aaron Dorr leads the NYS Firearms Association’s legislative and legal strategies, including the case NYS Firearms Association v. Steven James. Under his leadership, the organization has blocked legislation that would force gun owners to undergo mental health exams, purchase civil liability insurance, and comply with other unconstitutional mandates. His election efforts also helped break the Democrats’ Senate supermajority in 2024.

Aaron specializes in grassroots lobbying, political copywriting, digital mobilization, direct response fundraising, and hard-hitting election programs. His work has helped build some of the most effective state-level gun rights organizations in America. As one of the Dorr Brothers, fighting for gun rights is in his blood.

In addition to his gun rights work, Dorr has led legal strategies challenging unconstitutional 1st Amendment laws as well, including the landmark case Wyoming Gun Owners v. Gray.

Aaron and his wife, Kristen — who grew up in Western New York — live on a farm with their eight children, a flock of chickens, and backyard gun range. Having lived in New York State for years, Aaron knows firsthand how oppressive Albany’s gun control laws are, which drives his commitment to fight back!
