There are some guns that don't need to exist. I'll give my opinion on which ones should go away so that manufacturers can make better use of their time producing guns that are more in demand.
Ruger:
Target Mini 14's- They are chambered for .223 Remington only. If someone wants a target .223, they may as well just buy an AR that also shoots 5.56 and is probably more accurate of a gun anyway. They probably already do, because I never see these Mini 14's around for sale.
LC380- Same size as the LC9, but with a less powerful round. The LCP is smaller and lighter and shoots the .380 just as well, so what's the point of having the LC380? The only possible reason would be someone with large hands that can't handle the stiffer recoil of 9mm, but that's a very small percent of the population.
Which guns do you think manufacturers should stop making?
Marlin papoose? Seriously? I bought one of those pieces of garbage once. Never did find a magazine that would feed more than a few rounds before jamming up. Luckily I contained myself long enough to sell it off before I wrapped that thing around a tree.older Marlin Model 60's

Guns you think should be discontinued?
No, I'm not trying to get these guns removed because I'm a ******bag liberal. I'm as pro gun as it comes. I was making suggestions on guns that I think take up machine time at the factories where other, more in demand gun models would be better suited to production time to meet that greater demand.In Chicago, as well as in many other jurisdictions, a list of guns deemed "unacceptable", that is, having no legitimate purpose, was developed to limit those that could be lawfully possessed. In developing these lists, certain individuals with a working knowledge of guns would have had to be consulted.
I wonder if the OP was one of them..
Yeah, this is one I strongly agree with. I like a good rifle that shoots a pistol round, but I have no use for a revolver that shoots a rifle cartridge.Guns I don't care about:
Any revolver or handgun designed to shoot rifle cartridges. The 45-70 BFR comes to mind.
That doesn't mean they should be discontinued.
I am surprised it took 22 posts for a Glock hater to surface.All jokes aside, Glocks.
Ahhh, so guns that you don't care about should still be made because you value make-work employment schemes? These are worthless but they should still be produced so people will have work making them? Eh...in Soviet Union, tractor drives you...I just thought about how many people might lose there jobs on the production line from them being discontinued.
I certainly wouldn't want someone to lose their $12/hour job because of guns that don't interest me.
I see nothing pleases you.Ahhh, so guns that you don't care about should still be made because you value make-work employment schemes? These are worthless but they should still be produced so people will have work making them? Eh...in Soviet Union, tractor drives you...
Still missing the ball. Models of guns that should still be made MAKE MONEY for the company making them. Making money means employing workers to make them. Making guns that don't sell enough to turn a profit would simply be a way to run the company out of business and lose all those jobs.
Poor-selling gun models will be discontinued to make room for product lines that sell better. And the workers will stay employed.
What kind of gun YOU (or I) personally like or don't like has, statistically speaking, ZERO to do with any of it.
