What is the test for possession of a firearm with a single intent, to injure several people?

The dissent states that a weapon may be possessed with a single intent, to injure several people, and analogizes the crime to a single conspiracy to commit several offenses (citing Braverman v. United States, 317 U.S. 49, 63 S.Ct. 99, 87 L.Ed. 23). If defendant's intent is directed to one or more of a group of people, it indeed may be that only one offense is committed. But if the original unlawful intent is abandoned and subsequently a new intent is formed to use the weapon against others during the period of possession, more than one crime is committed. The apt analogy in that circumstance is to discrete illegal agreements constituting more than one crime of conspiracy ( cf., Braverman v. United States, supra, at 52-53, 63 S.Ct. at 101-102).
