I swear this is not a Photoshop. It is an actual screen capture from the Washington Post taken just a few minutes ago.
Could you ask for a better juxtaposition? David Chipman and an ad for The Walking Dead.
It is just too delicious!

The tweet of the day comes from the Firearms Policy Coalition with the reminder that tonight is the last time to make your voice heard on pistol braces.
Make sure to turn up your volume.
We're down to the final hours! If you haven't left a comment on the ATF's outrageous proposed rule on stabilizing braces, now is your last chance! Tag a friend who hasn't yet commented so they can leave one at https://t.co/Hs7rp5A0EG before time runs out! pic.twitter.com/3WcwoXbUW5

I stumbled across this auction of a 1959 Saladin 6×6 armored car. It supposedly has a 76mm main gun but I’m thinking it is probably demilitarized. With a current high bid of only $1,500, you probably could afford to have it restored and to buy ammo for it. I somehow doubt that Lucky Gunner has ammo for it but you never know. They both are in Knoxville.
From what I’ve read about the Saladin, it held a crew of three. Therefore, if you want to provide safe Uber service to the airport in Kabul for American couples, it would be just the thing. It might not be comfy but it would be safe.
How could the Taliban object? It is named after that great Muslim warrior Saladin!
I think by now we all have seen pictures like the one below of piles and piles of M4 carbines captured by the Taliban.
And we probably have all had either a feeling of disgust or maybe even a thought like in the meme below.
They put a Navy admiral in charge of the US Army’s Armor School?
What does the Navy know about tanks?!
No, no, no.
The US Army’s Commandant of the US Army Armor School is a Brigadier General named Kevin Admiral.
Brigadier General Kevin D. Admiral assumed duties as the Armor School Commandant on 27 September 2019.
Commissioned in Armor from the University of Kansas in 1994, Brigadier General Admiral holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Cellular Biology and a Master of Science in Campaign Planning & Strategy from the Joint Advanced Warfighting School. He is also a graduate of the Royal College of Defence Studies, London where he was a Senior Service College fellow.
Brigadier General Admiral has served in Armor, Cavalry, Mechanized Infantry and Stryker formations during his career. He served as an OC/T at the National Training Center, Small Group Instructor for the Armor Captain Career Course at Fort Knox, KY and Aide-de-Camp to the 36th Army Chief of Staff. His command assignments at every echelon from Company through Regiment includes two commands in combat; 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry (SBCT) and 3d U.S. Cavalry Regiment (SBCT) in Afghanistan. Following command of the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen at Fort Hood, TX, Brigadier General Admiral served as Executive Officer to the Commanding General of United Nations Command, Combined Forces Command, US Forces Korea (UNC/CFC/USFK). Prior to assuming his current duties at Fort Benning, he most recently served as the Deputy Commanding General for Maneuver, 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson and Commander, Task Force Southeast in Paktiya, Afghanistan.
It’s Friday and I just found this kind of funny. The plays on his name just write themselves.
As most people know by now, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, has passed away. He was known to have quite a dry sense of humor and I rolled over laughing when I read this one.
Some INCREDIBLE anecdotes thus far:

At Australian customs the Duke was told he'd be asked the same questions as anyone else. Asked if he had a criminal record, he replied, "I had no idea it was still a requirement."
I think even the Aussies would like that one.
This has been trending around the Internet yesterday and today.
The only correction I might make is to drop “This Part Wouldn’t Be Too Tough” a bit further south into the Bay Area. There are some areas in the Bay Area I’d exclude like maybe Oakland as I get the feeling that there are a lot of off the books firearms in that area.
This is a short guest post from ScotShot. In it, he theorizes about the true origins of the shortage of a consumer product with which we are all familiar.
It was a dark and stormy night on K street sometime in early January. Adam Longneck had been pestering Lady P about some virus that was going to turn Orange Man Bad into Orange Man Gone, but no-one was paying attention to him since he blew out the impeachment. Nonetheless, Lady P was desperate. So she had grudgingly agreed to let some failing interns do what they could to come up with ideas that would turn a pending infection from China into a national panic.
It was after bed-time and the chilled Ketel One had run out ages ago. The button downs were unfastened and there wasnβt a Windsor knot to be seen. Karen was poking the eyes of the bunny on her sweater with a ballpoint and Tyler was using lip-balm for the tenth time that hour he rubbed his chin and was temporarily distracted by the lack of growth since that morning. Not that it was worrying him.
β¦ βOK, OK, these are great ideas, but Lady P needs something to get it going. We need, we need a trigger..β βWhat do we HAVE, people?β
There was silence, then a Karen-in-the-Korner raised her hand. Tyler sighs. βOK, what?β KK says, βToilet paper.. β A hush settles in the room and then high fives all round.. The Android gets tapped.. βmm-hmm.. yup.. itβs us.. you can tell her we got it … tell her to call the people at http://protestjobs.com/“
“Social Distancing” seems to be the word of the year along with “flatten the curve”. All of this is due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
You go into many stores and you see “X” on the floor indicating just how far apart you should be from the next person. X’s are fine but I stumbled across an easier explanation that will appeal to those in the gun culture.
Instead of trying to figure out if that is 6 feet or is it merely 5 1/2 feet, the picture below makes it simple. I found it on Reddit.
I’m sure if you wanted to be pedantic you could say that an AR15 with an A2 stock is going to be longer than the M4gery with a collapsible stock throwing off the suggested distance.
Whatever.
To bring some humor to your Sunday, I present this Dirty Harry meets Star Trek mashup. I found it on the Internet last night while scrolling.
