You always hear about gun sales in the US, but you never hear about what happens to the guns at the end of their lifecycle. I assume guns wear out eventually, and I assume you can’t just chuck them in the garbage when they do. What happens to them?

    I assume guns wear out eventually,

    They don’t.

    I assume you can’t just chuck them in the garbage when they do.

    You can slice them in pieces across the action, and dump them in the trash. You can surrender them to police; police will collect them in a barrel, and deliver it to a steel mill for recycling.
