Well now isn't that interesting. He comes to my state and promotes legislation that would restrict my ability to purchase that rifle and then goes home and buys one for himself.
How stupid does he think we are........................."i am going to turn it over to police"...........horshyt!
meanwhile as a result of his testimony my Duck gun will be considered an assault weapon! :frowns:

His actions made him a criminal too. If in fact he did intend to give it away, it's illegal to purchase a weapon with the intent of giving it away.
Second, he purchase it in a state in which he's not a resident. He's a legal resident of Texas and bought them in az.

I posed that question to my ffl high school buddy in Arizona. Ill let you know what he says
With very little thought about it , I know of 6 times I have purchased a weapon with the express intent of giving it away. Of those times twice I purchased a handgun and completed a background check, both times the gun dealer knew the handguns were intended a gifts to someone else.

If he was going to gift it, he lied on his form.
It probably depends on your state. I KNOW it's legal here since the FFL just told me yesterday. However you better be sure that the recipient is legal to own that firearm or you just made a straw purchase!

Ffl can choose not to sell to residents of other states, but here's what he said about the residency issue in general
"he might have homes and in both states, therefore being a resident of 2 states. The ATF defines residency as "planning on making a home in the state." and you can legally have multiple residences and purchase in multiple states."

Not taking in dual residency, curio and relic or antique, you can legally purchase a firearm in any state. Its all Federal Laws. It's how you take possession of the gun. Long guns you can buy in bordering states and take possession of the long gun. A handgun must go across state lines through a FFL. It does state in the article that he bought the AR15 but didn’t take possession of it.

So what's your point! You believe he just bought it to prove he could. If he didn't take possesion of it it is because he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. If you believe he bought it to give to the police to take it off the street then you might just be that special kind of stupid that Nancy Pelosi hopes you are when you vote!
What I was referring to 3way, was he may not of taken possession of it because it had to be transfered to another FFL due his residence is not in a boardering state. The dealer may not of wanted to loose his FFL. My speculation just like yours is. Not because I'm a Nacy Peloci gun grabber but because I'm and educated firearms purchaser that has my fare share of firearms transactions for out of state purchases. These are federal laws, not state laws. States can make the laws more stricter but cant make the easier. Buying a gun for as a gift falls into its own set of rules.

I did not consider you a gun grabber. I just hoped that you werent't buying that :bs: that he is some kind of good guy. He came to my state and did all he could to make me miserable. I don't give a darn if he is an astronaut or a ditch digger, he needs to stay out of my business

Overall, the point is he was lying. One way or the other. When he filled out the form, he check no it wasn't a gift and had no intention of transferring ownership after the sale.
Or, he got caught after the fact and tried to cover his ass. Either way he's a liar and a hypocrite.
My knowledge of the transaction is firsthand. My az friend sells equipment to the hop that Kelly bought the weapons from. Who buys multiple magazines just to give the weapon away??
