Sporting Arms: Distraction or Stupidity?

I have been writing to my state and US lawmakers. Mine go from pretty progressive to New World Order gestapo. Nevertheless, I have tried to educate and inform them. I get lots of return emails that either don't say anything or could have been cut-and-pasted from Senator Feinstein's speech writers.
As far as I can tell, the founders were not thinking about the freedom to hunt squirrels, when they wrote the 2A. They seem to me to have been thinking about the spot we are in right now.
One reply , from one of my US Senators, kind of bothers me. He's OK with getting rid of all of the military-style weapons, but says sporting arms should be allowed. This man is not stupid.
Here's the part that astounds me. The man is Jewish, of Jewish heritage. He refuses to remember that the Nazis took away the peoples' guns before they loaded the trains. What can you say about a man like that?

Per the teacher and printed materials/videos:
There are THREE ways to change the US Constitution.
1) The amendment process defined in the constitution.
2) Executive Order. (Holy crap, Batman)
3) International treaty.
Jefferson would have a stroke and Hamilton would just smile...

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!!
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
- George Washington
- Thomas Jefferson
And the ultimate goal of the current extremely progressive administration is to control all of us! Thus the 'arms' MUST go!![V]
The Feds were just constructing a fallacy to keep citizens' thoughts off the real purpose of the 2A - Retaining the capability for citizens to resist government oppression.
Just recently, Uncle Joe Biden suggested that his gun control ideas should be Ok with us, because he will let us keep our shotguns for home defense. (Maybe he's senile, or just didn't bother to read the AWB bill) He also had the gall to suggest that he knows how many rounds are too many to have to protect my family.
The New World Order Gestapo are really good at redirecting the citizens' attention away from their treasonous intentions to strip the 2A of it's power.

The elected elite are scared to death of an armed society that has the ability to depose them.
It's all about POWER and they want ALL THE POWER. [}:)]
talk can happen all the time, and whether or not they take guns or not, nobody will dispose of anybody. And thats truth, you and I and others can huff and puff all we want nothing will ever happen.
I believe the word used was DEPOSE, as in removing from power, not DISPOSE as in something else entirely...

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
"My intention in starting this thread was to call attention to the fact that the 'Sporting Purpose' tag was created by the Feds, who said there was no reason to have a firearm unless you were hunting or target shooting with it."
The BATFE is in complete control of this dialog. THEY decide what is a sport, and what is not. 'IT'S JUST A DISTRACTION!' Do not be distrac...what was that, a butterfly?

To understand the 2nd Amendment you have to know something about the founding fathers. If you read their quotes on the right to bear arms there is no question about the meaning. But the public schools in America have haven't been teaching much about the founders for the last fifty years, leaving two generations with no idea about their intentions. When was the last time you talked to an 18 year old educated in our public schools? They know nothing about our history or the constitution. And they wonder why so many parents choose to home school.
Actually what's being taught is that the founders were just a bunch of wealthy white slave owners setting things up to favor themselves.
