A gift is a gift. Just say "no."
The question of who owns the guns may be a Court case, if she sues you for conversion. For now, the guns are in your possession, and are presumed to be yours.
It would be nice if some third party had been present when she gave you the guns: "Here, Rodney, I want you to have your Dad's guns. Take them home with you."
