Do guns wear out? Do they end up in landfill? You always hear about guns being sold, but never about what happens to them at the end of their useful life.

I had something vaguely similar happen to me.
We got called out of the line for a manual luggage inspection because, as a surprisingly bored security agent informed us, X-ray showed a knife of about a foot length in our luggage.
We had no idea what they were talking about.
We were half-way through unpacking the whole pack when my SO lit up and asked “could it be my ice skates?”
Agent took a look at the X-ray, nods, and lets us pack it back up without any further checking.
Overall, turned out harmlessly, but the sheer confusion of where that supposed knife had come from, combined with how blasé that security person was about the whole affair from start to finish stuck in my mind.
Wait, they didn’t tell you to check them? Interesting…
There’s a reason they’re called blades. In any case, they probably have an entire colllection of things people tried to sneak in… Klingon batleths, Vulcan Lirpas… Scottish claymores…. Chewbacca’s lightsaber….
(true story. The actor that played Chewbacca had his cane taken away, it was polycarbonate with a lightsaber holy.)(assholes)
