The Reviews about Saturday Night Special (page 1/1)
------ performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd


What it's all about. | Reviewer: Confederate Boy | 2/13/09

Look guys we can bicker and fight all decade about wether handguns need to be banned. But that is not what we are bloging about (correct me if I'm wrong). This is about the song and how good it is and what it means. I personally believe that this song is not that simple. It's rather accusing people's evil ways and how the handgun is used to acomplish it. It is probably more a lesson on how we as the human race should be more careful and more considerate of our lives and the lives of those around us. But it is not necesarily anti guns.



Handguns, Ten Commandments, and more | Reviewer: Billy | 12/13/08

The commandment (of the 10 commandments) you're referring to uses the term 'murder' - not 'kill'. You shall not 'murder'. That is different than killing - murder is an evil type of killing. If someone breaks into my house and I kill them in self-defense, it is not murder, it is justice.
Handguns are very useful for self-defense - against criminals. The only handguns used to murder are those used by criminals, who, if they didn't have access to a handgun, would find another 'tool' for their murderous intent. People murdered before there were handguns, and they will still murder if handguns are banned. People murder people - not guns, guns are just a tool, which, if in the wrong hands, can be used for murder - but no more than a bat, a knife, or any other 'tool' one can think of to use.



Ban All Guns! | Reviewer: Greg | 10/19/08

Guns were made for killing. Thou Shalt Not Kill! Therefore, guns were made to violate one of God's Ten Commandments. This means that guns are godless, evil tools made by man for the purpose of killing; they are not of God. BAN ALL GUNS!



jbooyahh.... | Reviewer: dangle | 8/26/08

jbooyahh is the only person below my blog that isnt a dumbass!!! if your going state something, know what your f%$king talking about.. .38 specials are not custom made, actually they are probably "note I said probably" one of the most common revolvers since the 1960's to present day. and as jbooyahh said it's not anti-gun, it might be "anti-handgun", and for Bill... Bill, you win 1st place in the dumbass contest! How is banning a revolver racist? What, You dont think Blacks use revolvers? Think again, DUMBASS!!!



What's it about? | Reviewer: Jbooyahh | 2/3/08

I don't think it's about a certain type of hand gun, but hand guns in general, as the final verse indicates. It's not anti gun, since these are good 'ol boys from the south and probably love to hunt, but it is anti hand gun which is not about anything other than killing humans.



Dom is an idiot | Reviewer: Bill | 12/5/07

Saturday night specials are not custom made guns... they are inexpensive guns which are simply affordible defensive tools... banning/ limiting them is racist



two thumbs up... from a member of the NRA | Reviewer: Diego Carrion | 3/21/07

One of Lynryd Synryd's greatest songs.
Even though it's blatantly anti-gun, the guitar riffs, and how it points out what happens when they misuse guns, makes this one of my Favorites.



stupid useless guns | Reviewer: Dom | 1/3/06

in this song Ronnie sings about Saturday Night Specials which are custom made guns that are useless. you can't hunt with them so they are no good. he says in the song that they aint no good for nothin but killin. its a great song.
