When I had to dispose of some handguns belonging to a deceased uncle I couldn't really do anything other than take them apart and entomb them in plaster of paris in an empty milk carton and put them out with the trash.

The police and sheriffs department wouldn't take them from me, although a few officers suggested places I could consign them. They had no collectors value what-so-ever, they were just junk Spanish M1911 knockoffs.
