What we need is to defang the "sporting use" provision.

Not repeal it - that'd be a much harder political fight.

Simply extend "sporting use" to include competitive shooting.

Make any firearm that was used in competitive shooting allowable for import.

Just a minor little change, clarifying that competitive shooting is a legitimate sport...

Ron Paul wrote a bill to do EXACTLY that. It is still sitting in a committee somewhere to the best of my knowledge. It'll never see the light of day no matter how many letters we write or phonecalls we make.

THEY don't want US to be armed. Period. R's or D's. The first for political expediency, the latter due to socialist agenda.

Here's a definition of "sporting use": One of my buddies filled his freezer with venison last season using his AK clone. How's that?

Not that it would actually matter to our betters in government or anything. Republican...Democrats...WTF's the difference anymore?

ok, so in us v miller 1939, scotus declared
"The Court cannot take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizens the right to keep and bear such weapons."
this sounds to me like they were saying, "well, we don't see that a short barrel shotgun has any military use. so we don't see GCA 1934 as unconstitutional" yet later ammendments and further bans SPECIFICALLY refer to millitary weapons (from other countries) as banned, not to mention US millitary weapons.
we don't need sporting, we need someone to get scotus to re-open us v miller 1939, so they can declare GCA 1934 and all of its ammendments unconstitutional
