I recently read that about 4.9 million new guns (all types) are sold in the US. If 20% were shotguns, that would approximate 1 million more shotguns every year.
There are also lots of old klunker shotguns around. Some are borderline functional, and many break or wear out every year. We all see klunkers for sale in gun shops, flea markets, yard sales, etc. Many have broken or missing parts...
What happens to all these klunkers? A few probably become wall hangers. Some reside in basements, garages, barns, etc. Where do the really bad ones end up? Scrap yards? Parts guns? Door stops?
Do a million old shotguns "go away" every year?
Just kind of wondering....
