i honestly have no interest in Glocks. If i won one or was given one, i would sell it. I know it sounds stupid to most, but their obvious advantages just arn't enough to sway me.

I have to agree with the OP on the UZI.. The only gun I would sell if given to me... Now there are plenty of guns I would never go out and buy with my own money... but thats a very large list...

Yep. Lot have already been mentioned:
--Glocks
--Hi-Point Pistols
--Raven/Jennings/Lorcin/Bryco
--"Lock" S&Ws
--NAA Mini-revolvers (except I'd take the Black Widow one with the longer barrel).
--Mitchell Arms rifles
--Any Ruger
--Any short mag, super short mag, whizbang short mag, ultra mag, super duper ultra mag, super ultra whizbang shortmag, you get the idea.
-Any plastic-stocked rifle (see sig)
-Tec-9, etc.
I *would* take an Uzi or Ingram just for the coolness factor even though they're essentially useless.
I'm sure there are a few others....

Glocks , only because they dont fit my hand without a grip mod.
MP5's... just dont impress me
Lorcins , Jennings , Haskels - needs no explanation.
SKS - great rifle , dont impress me
AK47 - see above.
Singer 1911 - really , dont believe me ? someone send me one and see if I keep it , bet you a $1 I dont return it
I will take all the UZI's you guys dont want ( and make em full auto please , cause I have never shot a semi , but have a put many thousand thru a FA Vector.

Junk guns
Even the most pitiable gun is useful for turning in for cash at gun buy-ups (which in turn can be offered to buy any decent guns that get intercepted as they show up).
When the war on guns heats up, junk guns will be useful as chaff to keep the gun confiscators busy in their appointed rounds. It's handy to have a mental list of liberal gun hating acquaintances who might have a stroke of bad luck in the future.
Think globally, act strategically.

If its functional or can be made functional and there is a way to attain ammunition, any way at all, then I will take said firearm. Its free! I might never shoot it but I want it

I had a Llama that was very reliable it even fired when the safety was engaged. It fired every round I put through it right up to the day it fell apart in my hands.
If I got my hands on one today I would fill the bore W/ gorilla glue and weld the slide shut. then it would find it's way to the bottom of Pueblo Resevoir.

I have no use for bolt action shotguns.
There are plenty of guns I wouldn't want -- some because I don't think much of them, and some perfectly fine guns that i personally have no use for.
I have enough guns that I like and can shoot well. I don't need a Jennings of the like to take up space in the safe. And some fine guns -- mostly DA/SA auto-loaders like the SIG Sauer P220 and the Beretta 92 -- aren't any use to me because I don't manage the long DA trigger reach well.

Quite a few years ago, I decided that a mouse pistol might actually have some redeeming value.
I had gotten it into my head that they could be concealed regardless of what you were wearing, and could provide some sort of armament in situations where carry of a real gun wasn't possible.
So, I bought this cute little Jennings .22.
I quickly found out that "POP POP JAM" was good... because it would often fail before it got that far along.
I tried all sorts of different bullets in it, and found none that were any better than the others.
It would light strike, feedway jam, refuse to return to battery, stovepipe, fail to extract, and very rarely would it manage to fire the whole magazine full of bullets.
"But if it actually WORKED, it would be COOL!" I said.
I decided I would fix it. I ground on the feed ramp, put a radius on the mouth of the chamber, and tweaked the lips of the magazine until I finally found a combination that would actually pretty much put the bullet in the chamber.
"POP POP POP JAM" My buddies all laughed at me.
I enlarged the ejector port, and welded up the extractor so I could forge it flat and grind a bigger stouter hook on it. I cut the frame to allow my super extractor to get in there and grip the case. I got it so it would pretty much get the empty case out of the way.
"POP POP POP POP DUD" My buddies all laughed at me.
I tweaked the striker and it's spring for a better hit on the rim.
And then it started working! COOL!
I could load five or six rounds (I forget the amount, but it wasn't many) in the little magazine, and then shoot it empty.
"POP POP POP POP POP POP"
By this time, I had shot the tiny pistol enough that I could actually pretty much make the bullets go more or less where I wanted them to go.
My buddies stopped laughing, and started in with the "Yeah, it fires, and yeah, you can sorta hit with it, but that .22 round is a PUNK and will only piss 'em off!
I was standing maybe 15 yards away from a steel 55 gallon drum at the moment. I said "Watch this!" and proceeded to pop a magazine full of bullet holes in the steel drum. "POP DING POP DING POP DING POP DING POP DING POP DING"
My buddies said "Hey! Let me shoot that thing!"
We passed it around, and shot up a whole box of bullets without a single failure.
Everybody was duly impressed, and agreed that a mouse pistol that actually worked just might be sorta OK after all.
And all was well... until the very next time I tried to shoot that pistol.
It seems that the slide on that thing was cast out of Zinc, or some other "Pot Metal", and it was pretty soft.
When I got it to reliably feed, and started shooting mag after mag of bullets through it, I drastically exceeded it's design limitations.
The breech face started peening, and it got so that it was pinching the firing pin where it protruded through the slide. Now it was a fixed firing pin.
It took me completely by surprise. I loaded a mag full, stuck it in the pistol, chambered a round, pointed it at the target, and pulled the trigger.
"RRRRRRRIIIIIIIPPPPPPP!" and it was empty!
HOLY CRAP! Fortunately, all it did was empty it's self and no damage was done.
I took it apart, and figured out why it was suddenly a machine gun.
When I saw that it was smashing the breech face, I destroyed it with a hammer.
So, that's why I feel like cheap mouse guns are something I wouldn't want.

I have seen a lot of Saturday night specials that you couldn't even give me. But those were particular guns not particular models.

Glock…… Experienced a failure when the recoil spring assembly flew apart after roughly 600 rounds. First major firearm failure for me. Glock tech support suggested changing the recoil spring assembly every 1000 rounds. I’ll never own another.

I had a Jennings .380 that was stolen, thankfully, and one time I was given a "youth" size .22 rifle I had no use for so I gave it away. Recently I gave away a Colt HBAR that I never liked to the SIL - I like the 6921 carbine much better. I also sold my Ruger .454 Casull because it just doesn't have the trigger my older S&W revolvers do.
I love my full auto Uzi - if you ever shot one suppressed you'd probably feel different about it. I have a Vector same as JTW.
But there's many I don't want so I don't own them - new S&W revolvers, Ruger autos, Glocks, etc. etc.

Any S&W revolver with a lock - Ugly and unreliable.
Any Hi Point - Never seen anybody complete a magazine without a malfunction.
Any D/A S&W automatic - If my hands were that big, I'd play in the NBA.
Colt All American 2000 - Simply the most astonishingly bad trigger pull, EVER.
Any TZ75 type gun in .40 S&W - A friend had TWO of them when they first came out. NEITHER worked.
Any Rohm Gesellschaft (RG) firearm - I've still got tons of steel scrap from my former supplier in India. And it's better steel too. Probably more effective as a weapon.

Actually...it's "RING OF FIRE"....like the Johnny Cash song. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/guns/ring/families.html
Cool....more for me! I have a bunch of them....lots of fun to shoot and to generally throw the gun enthusiasts who don't want them into a huff (Note: I also own a lot of "acceptable" guns as well).
And yep, a Sundance is a good conversation starter.
I can't think of any gun I would not take if given to me. Some I might not buy, but only because they are either too expensive for my tastes or there are other guns I'd prefer to own/shoot.
