Sci-Fi and Space Gat 1: The AR-15-Based DL-44

March 10, 2025April 22, 2024 by Tim Stetzer

One of the greatest things about the AR platform is that you can build just about anything you can imagine. The number of companies making complete firearms, components and accessories is staggering. From basic carbines to match and DMR rifles, to pistol caliber carbines, SBR’s, pistols and even bullpups; the variations are endless. I have … Read more

Priorities: Florida Senate Passes GOP Bill Naming Strawberry Shortcake the Official State Dessert While Constitutional Carry Goes Nowhere

March 5, 2025February 11, 2022 by Luis Valdes

State Senator Danny Burgess, chairman of the Senate’s Judiciary Committee, introduced SB 1006, a crucial bill that would name strawberry shortcake as the official state dessert of Florida. Never mind that literally no one associates Florida with strawberry shortcake. But since Plant City (an area of the state apparently grows strawberries) is in of Sen. … Read more

December 21, 2017 by Dan Zimmerman

Shut up and kill some more stormtroopers: The NRA Ridicules Mark Hamill For His Gun Control Beliefs: ‘What If The Galactic Republic Outlawed Lightsabers And Ray Guns?’ During a recent broadcast, (Grant) Stinchfield — who once chastised the press for describing guns as “weapons” — turned his attention to comments Hamill made about gun control … Read more

It looks as though there’s lots of shooting in the latest Star Wars release, coming December 16th. The special effects seem to get better and better with each iteration.

Question of the Day: How Does Shannon Watts Explain Star Wars to Her Kids?

October 21, 2015 by Dan Zimmerman

Reader ML writes

By now, millions have watched the new trailer for the next cash cow from Hollywood…myself included…and most are excited for the new Star Wars story. This made me ponder the following question: how can the anti-gun crowd explain to their kids why the Jedi FIGHT evil with swords, when they are opposed to doing the same in real life? If the good guys fly spaceships with guns, use lightsabers and blasters to defeat bad guys with guns, cooler lightsabers and blasters, why the double standard?

Star Wars’ Captain Phasma Muzzle Discipline

October 20, 2015 by Robert Farago

You could argue that Captain Phasma needn’t worry about whom she does or doesn’t laser with his SB-Tactical brace-equipped laser blaster. Storm Troopers, after all, are a dime a dozen. If nothing else, Ren’s carry method shows poor discipline. And as Yoda taught us, about the discipline it always is. (So did General Kala in Flash Gordon, but … Read more

Swords, (Light) Sabres and (Special Effects) Sorcery.

January 8, 2011 by ttag

I loved Star Wars. Not that Jar Jar Binks crap of a few years ago. The ORIGINAL Star Wars. Now THAT was a movie. And if you peel back the trappings of technology, you’ll find the original Star Wars owes a lot more to High Noon and The Magnificent Seven than it does to Forbidden Planet and Mars Attacks!. Yep. Star Wars is, at it’s heart, a Western, set in space. I’m also a big fan of The Princess Bride. I’ve always thought that sword fights were a more elegant alternative to gunplay. So when some genius did a mash-up between the swordplay of The Princess Bride and the light sabres of Star Wars…well lets just say they had me at “My name is Inigo Montoya. You keeled my father. Prepare to die.”
