I'm completely lost with this one...
It seems someone has sold a rifle to someone and that same rifle hasn't performed to someone else's expectations and the original someone doubts someone else's opinions...I don't know.

The best solution would be to burn the dark haired child of the someone else in the fires of someone, so that someone's loss is accounted for. The Ripley should go back to Derby so that Ripley Rifle's hatred burns less brightly - for their numbers are many. And finally, someone else should go in peace.
There - just like they do in Last of the Mohicans - and that all turned out well in the end
