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?

    One of them was not only in horrible shape, unsafe to fire, but it was illegal.

    Intrigued, how was it illegal?

      Sawed off shotgun, about a half inch under the legal limit.

      Which was the least problematic thing lol.

      It was badly done, at an angle. The stock hadn’t given replaced with a grip or anything, just cut off. The moving parts were rusty, and he’s improvised what he thought was a quick trigger that only made it so that if you racked the slide wrong, it would drop the hammer.
