I am disturbed by the ATFs interpretation of sports.
Based on their interpretation, 'sporting purpose' only involves things like shooting animals, shooting inanimate clay objects, or maybe even the competitive enterprise of throwing oblong balls down a striped field.
It just reflects a world view that I am uncomfortable with. I have not studied the legislative history of the GCAs, but I suppose the reason the GCAs excluded non sporting weapons was to limit importation of weapons which made killing people easier.
Rather than go through the fiction of calling IDPA/IPSC/3gun not a "sport" I wish they would just say what they wanted to say--"we don't want to import guns that make it easier to kill people."
