I suppose parts could be replaced (kinda like a car) and someone could keep using it......hey, if anyone out there is going to throw away a nice Beretta because it needs a recoil spring, Sneakers will take it off your hands for free.  

I never said guns didn't wear, I said you are clueless (as is any other equally uninformed individual who, like yourself, who attributes the surge in new gun sales to "wear" on existing guns.)  Why don't you tell me how many moving parts a "semi-auto" has and how many rounds the gun is good for.  Run along to the internet now.

You're responding to things I didn't say.

I didn't say that only moving parts wear.
I didn't say the surge in new gun sales was due to wear on existing guns.  

Marty was asking "why do we still need to manufacture guns". Guns getting worn out is as good of an answer as any to why we need to continue to manufacture new guns.  If gun manufacturers ever decide to stop selling new guns to the public, one would assume they would also stop selling replacement parts.
