Reminds me of 1970, yes, 1970 when various anti-gun radicals demanded an end to the ownership of all firearms, not just handguns.
The Denver Post declared that any gun that cost $45 dollars was a “Saturday Night Special” and needed to be banned. That $45 would be the equivalent of a $450 handgun today. They had a photo of a Ruger Mk II as a typical SNS.
That was a racist term ... referred to a cheap pistol that was (supposedly) only fit for the festivities on a "niggertown Saturday night".
