Yep.  You get the last quarter-to-third-or-so of 'em back as "waste heat"

Hi!  I'm the gun-lobby signature virus!  If you are pro-gun, add the above
to your .signature.  (It was computed conservatively, by pretending there
are only a tad over three and a half million of us - an obsolete number for
