Congressional Quarterly reports renewed debate in Congress over federal limits on small handguns following the Jan. 30 shooting of Sen. John C. Stennis. The fight centers on defining a Saturday night special, choosing between sporting or safety criteria, and potential national versus local regulation.
The editorial argues Congress should tighten rules on cheap handguns used mainly for crime. It favors size based restrictions alongside quality and safety criteria, stressing sportsmen need differ from weapons aimed at intimidation and killing. The piece urges preserving tougher laws to curb the glut of cheap, dangerous firearms.
The piece argues a safety and reliability standard for handguns better than the sporting purposes test.
