preme Court has held that the right to self-defense, 
rather than ‘‘sport’’ is at the core of that right. 
(2) Despite the meaning of the Second Amend-
ment as interpreted by the Supreme Court, section 
925(d) of title 18, United States Code, requires the 
Attorney General to approve the importation of fire-
arms into the United States for private ownership, 
but generally only if the firearms are determined to 
be suitable for or adaptable to ‘‘sporting purposes’’. 
(3) The Executive Branch has interpreted 
‘‘sporting purposes’’ in a narrow and obstructive 
manner, impeding firearms imports, interfering with 
citizens’ constitutional rights, and diminishing con-
sumer choice. These interpretations have resulted in 
bans on the importation of firearms that are com-
pletely legal to make, sell, and own in the United 
States. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are as fol-
lows: 
(1) To clarify the standard used to import fire-
arms into the United States. 
(2) To make it clear that firearms imports may 
not be subject to discriminatory treatment, and that 
firearms should be importable for all lawful pur-
