I'm waiting for the next one so I can dump a defective .22. Since some bureauists insist on using my tax dollars, I will try to get some of it back in the form of $50 worth of groceries.

Incidentally, the "back" in "buy back" refers to whom? That always perplexed me as most guns are melted under some government agency. Did that agency own those guns, or is it just hat & cane use of the English, like "assault weapons" bans?
