Interesting idea, but ... How do you accomplish this "re-insertion?". As soon as defective guns start showing up in quantity, the buyers are going to want the sellers to demonstrate the weapons. If the weapons are sabotaged, the sellers get killed. It is even hard to precisely define the "black market". Private individuals sell guns to private individuals all the time. Where's the line? Who gets hurt if a weapon "crosses back"? I would like to see weapon crimes stop, too. I think the work needs to be done on the attitudes that leads to those crimes, or the attitudes will simply find other expressions.
