Smith & Wesson to Commemorate Landmark Gun Ruling

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - Smith & Wesson is manufacturing a
commemorative revolver in honor of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court
ruling that backed the right of individuals to own guns for
self-defense.

The Springfield-based gun maker announced Monday it would
present engraved Model 442 revolvers to the six plaintiffs in the
lawsuit that led to the high court's June 26 decision striking down
a handgun ban in the District of Columbia.

The commemorative revolvers, made in partnership with the Second
Amendment Foundation, will be sold in the fall, with a portion of
sales going to the pro-gun legal group.

Smith & Wesson said the gun's right-side plate will be engraved
with the words "D.C. vs. Heller" on a scale of justice, which is
tipped toward Heller. "Second Amendment" and "The right to keep
and bear arms" will appear below the scale.
