At face value, they meant to impose a 7-day waiting period for all PISTOL purchases, but they goofed-up…(or did they mean to include long guns?)...

A seller of a firearm shall not deliver the firearm to the purchaser of that firearm until at least 7 days after the date the sale of the firearm is completed. A person that violates this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a fine of not more than $2,500.00, or 2 both.

This includes private sales the way it is written. Yeah, right!

Because waiting periods in the 10+ states that have them have reduced violent gun crimes and murders to 0.

%100 Democrat sponsored, not that it makes much difference.

I think all of the new gun control legislation has been referred to Beau LaFave's committee. I don't believe they will get a vote.

[Corsten]

Yeah. Give private seller cash. Hope seller meets up in a week. What a bunch of nonsense.

[gjgalligan]

Oh geez, instead of offing a PITA at work you can't buy a new gun.
Oh well, you could just use one of the other 50 guns you own.

[Leader]

I can see it now.... hundreds of people being beaten to DEATH with baseball bats because you can buy them a Wal-Mart anytime of the day or night.

The Michigan Gun Owners Board of Directors have voted to officially OPPOSE this bill.
