Saturday night special

A Saturday night special is an American pejorative term for a small, inexpensive handgun. The term is considered highly prejudicial, as it implies that the gun in question would only be owned for criminal means. The legally preferred, less offensive term for this class of firearm is junk guns. Laws against possession of such inexpensive handguns are controversial, as they are seen by many as an attempt to disarm the poor, who are often predominantly minorities.
