As soon as you add a variable that can be loosely interpreted by what ever arm of the law you have the attention of.. problems will arise.
Who decides "suitable time later" ? Obviously it wont be the one charged.. so the officer? Patrol Sergeant? DA? BATF agent? Judge?
Many a person has bought a gun with the intent of keeping it, then resold it hours, days later. Need of cash,,, wife got mad, shot once and does not feel right, bout a left handed bolt rifle on clearance,, and did not noting it was for a lefty.. what ever the reason....
"
They" enacted waiting periods to purchase a gun.. Now we need waiting periods to sell a gun????
Clearly the law was not enacted to prevent Mr x from buying a gun at a good price and selling that gun to someone else who is legally allowed to own it as the original purchaser.
Once again, making criminals of otherwise honest citizens.
This case will be interesting to follow.
You beat me to it! I was going to ask what is a "suitable" time and who is going to decide that? 1 week, 1 month, 1 year or 5 years??? Please, lets not give them anymore bright ideas.
