My own take is this. He is recieving a portion of the assets form an estate. The assets, regardless of what they are (Hummels, Waterford Crystal or Weatherby's) have a financial value. To those who have no emotional attachment, they are a commodity. In selling them, he would be converting the guns into cash and preserving the financial value of the inheritance. If he destroys them, he loses most if not all of the value of that portion of the inheritance. If he sells the guns, the guns get new homes and he preserves the value of his inheritance. Win for him and win for us.
