“LOL...my BS meter went off as soon as this liar said he sold his gun back to the same gun shop he bought it from a year later for the same amount he bought it for. Riiiiiiiight. There isn’t a gun shop in this country that wouldn’t discount the buy back price by 30% minimum as soon as you sign the 4473.”

Agree. This is why I think the letter is bogus. You must shoot at least a couple hundred rounds through a new gun just to break it in so that it is reliable. Let me give an example to those who don’t own a gun. Can you imagine driving a new car 10,000 miles to where it is finally broken in and then take it back to the dealer and ask to get all your money back just because you don’t want it anymore? Ha! Same thing with a handgun. And even if the gun was bought used, there is no way the dealer will ever buy it back at the price it was sold. How would the dealer know if it had been shot 10 times or 10,000 times over the course of a year? A gun dealer can’t stay in business buying back guns at their original sales price.

Agreed, that's what reasonable people do. Scared liberals buy it new and never shoot it. If it was properly holstered, it might not even show any signs of wear.

In 1979, inflation was what...10-11% year over year? The dollar value for a mint firearm may have risen enough to justify this.
