Synopsis

This amendment applies import handgun regulations to domestically manufactured ones.

18 USC 925(d)(3) are the import standards to be applied. This section of code applies the 'sporting use' test to imported firearms.

Analysis

Applying 'sporting use' clause requirements to domestic handguns could, almost completely, dry up the handgun availability in the United States.

The relatively benign wording of this amendment does not adequately portray the vast impact possible by the passage of this amendment. Fortunately, it got no support.
