Found this article on Worldnetdaily about the recent change in Michigan of Class 3 firearms.
http://www.macombdaily.com/stories/010406/loc_sessa001.shtml
It would seem to me that machine guns would be the sole class of firearms today to explicitly be protected under the "sporting" test of GCA 68.
Machine gun shoots did not exist in the late 1960s, but today that is almost the exculsive use of Class 3 firearms. I can't think of any firearms usage that is more "sporting" than the machine gun shoots held across the country, such as Knob Creek or the Hirim Maxim shoots.
Wonder if the NRA or other Class 3 organizations would try to have the ATF sporting interpretation changed via the rulemaking petition process because of this change? Just a random thought that occured to me this weekend...
