| Interesting how the following song on the album (Nuthin' Fancy) is "Cheatin' Woman" where the singer threatens to get a gun and shoot his woman down.. hmmm. | |

| StarsandBarsBaby: note the line "Handguns are made for killin'/They ain't no good for nothin' else..." The song is not limited to cheap, illegal ones. Moped_711: As for the Van Zant brothers, Ronnie was the only one in Skynyrd so you can't say he was a pro-gun person just because one of his brothers owned a revolver. As for all the Confederate uniforms on stage, I've never seen a picture of that nor heard of it before so that comment sounds like b.s. They did have Confederate battle flag as part of their stage backdrop but in interviews, they said it was basically pushed on them by promoters and was not something the band thought up. Funny how reactionary Southerners appropriated the Skynyrd legacy as their own. The band were totally reviled by the good ol' boys of their time for their long hair, drug use, etc. Hell: listen to "Things Goin' On" or "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe" where they stood up for blacks. They never had any intention or desire to be labeled a "Southern Rock" band; they just happened to be from the South. The Rolling Stones and Neil Young were two of their biggest influences. If being from a Southern state makes your music "Southern Rock," that would include Tom Petty (Florida), The Butthole Surfers (Texas), Man or Astroman? (Alabama), The B-52's and REM (Georgia) as well as Adrian Belew (King Crimson guitartist) (Kentucky). The later incarnation of the band was merely a poor imitation of what they were about in the 70's. | |

| This song is obviously about how handguns should be taken away, or basically anti-handguns. A Saturday Night Special is a slang term for a pistol. The song is saying how in the wrong hands, these weapons can have devestating effects. That is all I have to say about it. | |
