There was no Congressional act that empowered the BATF to restrict from import arms not designed for hunting, yet subsequent regulation established such a restriction.
The "sporting purposes" clause is in the Gun Control Act of 1968: Public Law 90-618. Its been there from day one. That clause give wide latitude to the white house and the BATFE.
