If Biden’s pick to head the ATF gets the nod, we’re all in trouble
American Thinker ^ | 27 May, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Biden’s nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, David Chipman, is a long-time gun control advocate. Putting him in charge of the ATF is a guaranteed attack on American’s Second Amendment rights. As Wednesday’s Senate hearing showed, the guy is also a crackpot and a liar.

If you check out leftist media outlets, including taxpayer-funded NPR, it’s clear that Chipman’s attraction for Democrats is his commitment to grabbing guns:

Chipman is a veteran of ATF, where he spent 25 years as a special agent. He currently works as a senior policy adviser at Giffords, an organization that advocates for stricter gun laws and is led by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was gravely wounded in a mass shooting in 2011. As part of Giffords’ group, Chipman has pushed for greater regulation of ghost guns.

[snip]

Chipman has advocated for the federal government to strike a balance that allows law-abiding citizens to own guns for self-defense, hunting and sport while also enabling law enforcement to prevent gun violence.

[snip]

He added that although all weapons can be dangerous in “the wrong hands,” certain firearms are particularly lethal and should be more strictly regulated.

In the second paragraph, you read that Chipman is just a balanced individual who wants to let Americans enjoy their Second Amendment rights but he wants to keep America safe too. No howitzers for you! But there’s something ominous there. Read that last line: He says that “certain firearms are particularly lethal and should be more strictly regulated.”

The problem with these leftists is that they know they are extreme so they try to sound moderate. What they say may sound extreme, but what they want is much, much worse.

Considering the absolute fruitcakes the Senate has confirmed for Obiden, we’re in trouble.

Chipman helped orchestrate the Waco siege that murdered innocent women and children over failure to pay a $5 tax for a short barrel shotgun.

But, I thought Beto was going to be the head gun-grabbing henchman??

Chipman is an absolute lying tyrant and he will happily destroy the constitution with a smile as he kills as many of us as he wants after we are disarmed. I need to renew my C & R, but I am afraid all I will do is draw a target on myself.

And Sleepy Joe will resurrect Adolph Eichmann to head the “Republican Re-education Camps”.

Let’s not forget that Chipman was an integral part of the team that murdered the familys at Waco.

Typical "American" Thinker headline: "If Biden’s pick to head the ATF gets the nod, we’re all in trouble"

WE ARE ALL IN TROUBLE ALREADY.

The odds are heavily in his favor. I’ll be watching the Rs and how they vote. They never fail to disappoint.

“Enabling law enforcement to prevent gun violence”.

Something that is impossible to achieve.

“certain firearms are particularly lethal and should be more strictly regulated.”

So degree of lethality is the new criteria as determined by some shithead bureaucrat/politician.FU.

Some political ideology has been shown to be more deadly to citizens than firearms. Shouldn’t we use the smelter on that?
