aristocratic rifle association was very popular in Europe, and made its way to america. And while the founding fathers were a milita, they supported guns for sport as well as war.

The correct answer is C) aristocratic riffle association.

The long English tradition of aristocratic riffle association figured prominently in the founding father's discussion of the ownership of firearms.

But in reality, Historians say the Founding Fathers idea when creating the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution was not for the civilians, ordinary people to be armed, just the militia, as in the case of the National Guard. Eve anti-gun organizations in America believe that the Founding Fathers never considered guns for the use of citizens, just the armed forces.
