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.

Just another point to your first sentence:
I have a pistol and rifle, both are so old that legally they’re not even considered firearms anymore. The pistol is from 1600s Britain and the rifle is from 1700s US. Both can be fired still thanks to either good maintenance or restoration prior to my ownership, but they require specialty ammunition and genuine black gunpowder. They’re legally considered antiques.
If ever they were “destroyed,” if they weren’t in a museum then they’d just be stripped, with the wood probably being chipped and the metal being recycled.
Isn’t it the fact that its a “percussion instrument” that makes it legal, not its antiquity? Like I thought anyone can go online and buy a Kentucky rifle kit online legally?
