You’re not wrong and I get your POV. Could the individual pay a “$10 disposal fee” at the time of the donation so all the parts would be destroyed? ( Don’t oil change places charge something like that for the proper disposal of used oil? )
… anything to keep parts and “kits” out of the hands of the next “Howdy Doody” Rittenhouse murder moron…
Just to be clear, I am explaining the de facto economics, not saying I think it’s a great idea.

Michigan man charged after toddler fatally shoots self with his gun, prosecutors say
A Michigan man has been charged with illegally possessing the handgun that a 2-year-old used to fatally shoot himself in a car, as well as with the subsequent burning of the vehicle, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
A grand jury returned an indictment against Avis Damone Coward for counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, conspiracy to tamper with evidence and tampering with evidence, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan said.
The child shot himself while the vehicle he was in was parked at a Lansing gas station on Oct. 24, the prosecutor’s office said.
If you can stomach it, there’s more at the link.
I will not follow the link, but were those all the charges? Nothing about reckless endangerment or endangering the welfare of a child by leaving a gun around?
This is quite the combination of surname and sentences in the story.
Coward handed off the child to someone else, who took the boy into the gas station, the U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement. Then, Coward picked up his gun, used his fist to break the window where the bullet had exited and drove away, the office said.

Just one more (good) guy with a gun there, and this all could have been prevented.
If only it had a high capacity magazine. It could have been fun for the whole family…! /s

Goddammit…
Current reports say a sixth grader was killed, and several others wounded. The shooter, a 17 year old, is also dead. Hopefully he hadn’t sired any kids himself.

Wayne LaPierre resigns as CEO of NRA
Nothing left to do but defend yourself against corruption charges from Letitia James!
From what I’ve read, the corruption was pretty blatant (for example, spending nearly $40,000 of NRA money at a Beverly Hills Zegna store).
I’m of two minds here: 1) good; he’s a soulless bastard and B) like I give a shit if he bilked a bunch of toothless rednecks.
Also, all of the money he stole (and the hundred million or so that the NRA spent on defense lawyers) means that much less money going to fight reasonable gun laws.

Dusty Hawckert, GOP state senator for South Dakota gave his son an AR-15 for Xmas.
His son is six. It went exactly as could be predicted, and his son shot him in the foot. Merry Xmas!
I think that’s a satire page. I can find no confirmation that such a person exists.
Doh. You may be right. Apologies to the SDMB.
Hopefully, those Iowans aren’t still thinking about that shooting. As Trump said, they need to get over that.
Ah, a brain shot! Fortunately Hackwit felt no pain…

Ooops, perhaps should of read further - however, the sentiment was heartfelt.
