Oh, come now.
It's one thing to use a gun, it's another to abuse it.
I don't know many men who marry beautiful women and don't spend a little time every now and then getting some use out of their hard earned treasure. But that's hardly the same thing as slapping her around a bit 'til she loses a few teeth, right? Will we applaud her new dentures as part of a fascinating story?
Let me ask you - why on Earth would the barrels need to have been honed to the point of being dangerously thin unless the gun had seen repeated neglect?
As for price, that gun has always been expensive - I don't care who you are. Would we all nod our heads approvingly if we saw noted rap artist Puff Daddy puke into the wool carpet of his 1931 Deusenberg then crash it into a telephone booth? He can afford it, so what's wrong with the picture?
