This is why everyone should buy at least one firearm a month. Just in case they expire, you always have a back up to replace it.

depends on the gun, caliber, etc. generally round-count is what wears guns.
Plinker .22LR from a good manufacturer? couple hundred thousand rounds or more before any major issues.
center fire semi auto pistol from a good manufacturer? you might see accuracy degrade anywhere from 50-100k, with smaller parts breakage before that, and bigger parts there or after.
center fire rifle you'll see bore/throat wear after a few thousand rounds. higher velocity wears out barrels faster. How much it matters kinda depends on your expectations. lots of issues past that are firearm specific.
keeping springs replaced, keeping things well oiled, and not pushing velocity/pressure limits can all help extend firearm life.

The answer, as always, is that "it depends". Depends on the ammo. Depends on the shooting (keep the barrel hot=more wear). Depends on the cleaning (most barrels are ruined by cleaning, not shooting). Depends on the environment (near salt water=problems).
