Hey, I got a 617 S&W with 6 inch barrel. Very nice, cheap to shoot. How's the trigger on the Heritage? Price is cheap...

Well, add another state I'm glad I don't live in...

Wonder what the reasoning is behind that law? Seems pointless. I guess if you plan to fire it in a house fire.
Because you could shoot somebody and then melt your gun down to get rid of it? Since that's obviously the easiest way to dispose of a weapon.

I think the sarcasm in my previous reply was missing, should have added a wink I guess.

I actually think this is a great idea and I'm not sure why other states haven't enacted it, the idea was to ban guns that use inferior materials in order to keep cheap guns off of the market and out of the hands of criminals. Guns with higher melting points/tensile strength cost significantly more than a zinc framed gun. I think a "weapon" like this is sort of a victim of unintended consequences and in my opinion the constitutionality of the law is questionable, but at least it is gun control that has a specific target instead of being a blanket restriction on everyone. This law would also make a number of pocket pistols and hipoints illegal too though wouldn't it?

The argument is that this type of law also keeps the low income folks who would like a junk gun to put junk in the trunk with from having that option.

Now, all kidding aside, this is the case! Low income folks may not have $600 to blow on a high quality pistol, but still under the constitution have a right to personal protection and to keep and bear arms.

My jennings .22 auto is a junk gun. I paid a junk price for it too, second hand, and at the range I mentioned to someone about buying a ppk in .22, for considerably more, and the gentleman reminded me that with the 1.5 inch barrel, the ppk would shoot in the same fashion as the jennings does. (bullets sliding through the target sideways, wildly inaccurate, jamming, etc) so I never bought one, thus saving me $$$$$! So these cheap guns DO have a purpose, or several: Inexpensive protection, and well, something else, they put US workers back to work...

Since, I did buy a HR 6" .22 revolver (Downtown Oakland no less) and enjoy it's quality though it was a used gun also....

hpm.

It takes a man to shoot a gun?? Did not know that, thanks for the tip MAN.

That's not even what he said. He was wrong and then you were more wrong.

It's a pretty solid, simple gun. At 2 pounds unloaded, it has a more substantial feel than I expected.

I use mine to dispatch trapped ground hogs using subsonic rounds. Perfectly fine for casual plinking and learning to use a click bang gun, and ultra cheap to feed.

Got mine w/ the 22 Mag cylinder for larger needs, too. The price they offer for the dual cylinder gun is $180

Not as good a deal, since you're paying $55 for the second cylinder, but it gives you more flexibility if you need/want. Y

es, I have the obligatory Glocks, Hi-Points, AK's, and shotguns, but, really, this gun serves a different purpose entirely.

in my opinion the constitutionality of the law is questionable

at least it is gun control that has a specific target
The "specific target" is low income people. Kind of like the way gun control laws in NYC, Chicago, Washington DC mean wealthy elites can get carry permits while it's virtually impossible for the little guy to exercise his constitutional right to self-protection. Do you really think criminals will respect the law? I don't. As if there are tons of low-income people who might not turn to crime if new guns are priced too high?

Like I said I wasn't solid on whether it was constitutional , a broad interpretation of the equal protection clause would strike down this sort of law, rightfully so.
So you think it's rightfully unconstitutional, and yet you think it's a great idea? As crazy as that seems, we've got four Supreme Court Justices who issue their opinions the same way.

I also bought mine on Black Friday at Academy. It is a fun gun but not really worth paying more than $100 for it. It's a pain in the ass to reload. I'll use my money for a Ruger SR22 pistol.

My reply was a little muddled, I mean that I believe in broad interpretations of the constitution vs. narrow ones. For instance, some individuals insist that the language of the second amendment provides only militias the right to bear arms and not individuals. However, I don't think that the constitution is the end-all be-all repository of good ideas.

Toddler said:   dzer0 said:   I don't think that the constitution is the end-all be-all repository of good ideas.
But it is the end-all, be-all of the law and of our democratic republic. It doesn't matter how good an idea is if it's unconstitutional. That's what the amendment process is for.

Based on some guys who had no concept of what the future would bring !!!!!

I am planning on buying one of these some time in the future, but I want the 22mag cyl.

Couple things I want to mention: http://www.heritagemfg.com/site/department.cfm?id=1525 suggests that this alloy framed model isn't good in HI, IL, MN and the aforementioned SC.

Heritage will sell you one of the 22 mag cyls for $36 shipped. So if you're interested in the 22 mag as well, that seems to be an option. I would check with heritage to make sure you can do that though before purchasing.
