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.
