Ah. Here you go. How he makes his money:

David Chipman Chipman is a former special agent for the Buruea of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. He is now senior policy advisor for Giffords, the gun safety organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

I had to search for a public domain picture of him.

Most of the pictures are flattering.

The hearing was in 2019; It is fair use to take a screenshot of a C-Span video for use in discussing the subject.

He’s not trying to persuade gun owners, he’s trying to persuade legislators to pass more gun laws.

“but there are risks to that choice.”

Fauci’s exact words when the homosexual asked him about picking up “dates” on Grindr.

You may be correct.

The outlet where he made the statement, Cheddar.com, seems mostly aimed at young, lefty, techy, woke, types.

He probably believed he was simply reinforcing their stereotypes. But many will be new gun owners.

Obligatory “The ATF ought to be a convenience store, not a governmental agency” comment.

Kind of says it all, doesn’t it...

I find it stunningly shameful that the US Navy named a ship after her. Shameful. And embarrassing.

I have a friend, 35 years in law enforcement, who commented that people don’t need guns in their homes. I told him I would consent, if when he left work, his guns were under lock and key at the jail. And if all hell broke loose, he would forgo his own family, and plant his butt on my front porch. Uh, he didn’t agree so much.

Hey, every old, experienced gun owner was once a new gun owner. The newbies can learn. I’ve helped a few of them myself. There are still dads out there who know how to teach theirs sons how to shoot.

He’s not trying to persuade gun owners, he’s trying to persuade legislators to pass more gun laws.

Considering your comment, I believe you are approaching the truth.

He is neither trying to persuade gun owners or legislators.

He is paid by the Giffords Center, which is funded, mostly by wealthy, sanctimonious leftists, such as Bloomberg and others.

He is pandering to them, to validate their stereotypes, to insure he is valued and kept on their payroll.

Neither legislators nor the public, nor new gun owners are the target audience. His paymasters are.

“He suggested first-time gun owners secure unloaded firearms.”

To be fair, that is a helpful suggestion albeit not in the way he intended. If your firearm is unloaded, it’s in storage and you should properly secure it - as in make sure it doesn’t fall over and damage itself or other firearms. :P

Who would listen to such a fool?

Why doesn’t he start with hypocritical lefty politicians like Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton and demand that they no have armed security around them at all times.

He wants the American population unable to defend itself.

Against such tyrants is exactly why the Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment.
