Where do guns go when people are done using them? - eviltoast

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 wonder if it had been taken apart enough and/or hacksawed if it would still meet a definition of “gun” or “firearm”.

      At least in the USA no. You can destroy a firearm with a hacksaw. Here’s a figure with approved forms of destruction. Note the width of the white lines represent removed material.
