If the Red Death is supposed to be destroyed on sight by order of the Vanguard (for being a guardian killer), why are they letting Xur sell one mere feet away?

Dude, Xur himself doesn't seem to be quite canon on the Tower.

It is said that they don't bother Xur for fear of driving him off. I like to imagine they're just cussing out anyone they see walking away with one of those under their breath.

I think it's more like, gun descriptions are canon, but gun locations and owners are not. After all, if they were, there wouldn't be multiple instances of the same "one of a kind" gun/gear.

They can be played for -gasp- fun.

For the same reason you can find BR-85s on the Forward Unto Dawn, and thermal clips in the wreckage of the Hugo Gernsback.

...walking away with a gun under your breath...

Your joke was legitimately funny, but my sentences have a habit of being parsed wrong, which is probably my fault, which you have just reminded me of.

I blame the fact that I added the "under their breath" part as an after-thought immediately after posting it.

Misplaced modifiers are my favorite grammar mistakes because they usually paint such interesting mental images. :)
