[Guns America] A Kansas City woman decided earlier this week that she’d had enough of the AR-15 she’s been storing in her home for a friend, so she decided to purchase it and then destroy it."I don’t even like touching this thing. It’s upsetting to me," Sandy Skaggs told KMBC News 9, gingerly holding what she called a "killing machine."

She told the outlet that the recent mass murders in Dayton and El Paso motivated her to buy and destroy the weapon.
"I do not want this gun. I want to destroy this gun," Skaggs clarified.
She contacted local police to ask about the proper way to destroy the rifle or request that they do it, telling law enforcement that she does not want it used for parts. She’s willing to do anything to render the weapon inoperable, even "pouring acid down the barrel to destroy the mechanism inside," according to KMBC’s Michael Mahoney.
"I’m not opposed to hunting. I’m not opposed to hunters. I’m not opposed to people having guns in their possession for protection. But this is a killer. It’s a killing machine, and that’s all it’s for," she said.
