Shame, it would have made a nice gift to an actual museum.

Have you even been to it?

I wouldn't be so quick to criticize it...I have visited it (free to enter) and spent 4 hours walking around in there viewing and reading about all of the different firearms over history. To date, it was the most impressive display of firearms and shooting history I have ever seen. Some displays rotate with new ones, so different things to see on returning visits.

Like the Smithsonian. The firearms display there is impressive, or at least was when I visited 20 years ago.

I have not been to it as I haven't been near it with extra time. If I was near it, and its free, I would go to see what was there. But if I had an interesting historical piece, regardless of its nature, and I was inclined to donate it, I would seek out well respected places like the Smithsonian or numerous state and local museums. That last place I would send it is a place owned by an organization with a political agenda. I am quite sure the Smithsonian would try to do a fair job of placing a firearm in the proper context of its time with all of the nuanced positives and negatives that came along with it.
