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?

      pretty much any police department will accept firearms you want to get rid of them (and they’re legal.) Many will do a gun buy back program with “no questions asked”.

      They then either destroy them or sell them off at an auction. Usually, they destroy them.
