David Chipman, a gun-control advocate, is heading for a full Senate vote.
WASHINGTON (CN) — Lawmakers advanced President Joe Biden’s pick to oversee the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to the full Senate for a confirmation vote, but not without a contentious debate on the floor Thursday.
David Chipman, an outspoken gun-control advocate and an ATF veteran himself, was tapped to oversee the department in April. Before his nomination, he worked as a senior policy advisor at Giffords Law Center, a gun-violence prevention group founded by its namesake, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who was shot in the head during an assassination attempt in 2011.

Senator Marsha Blackburn, a Republican from Tennessee, argued that Chipman had an “agenda.” “I asked him if he referred to common semiautomatic rifles as assault weapons, and he affirmed, yes, he did,” she said. His position “would effectively ban all sporting rifles in the United States.”
“I believe that Mr. Chipman is not only qualified,” California Senator Dianne Feinstein added. “He’s the person that we need in this position at this time.”

Anti-#2A, gun-grabbing douchecanoe.
Buy em cheap. Bury em deep.
If Flimsey Grahamnesty votes for this guy, he has no 2A credibility anymore.
That’s one of the excuses used by those who insist we have to keep re-electing Amnesty Senators.
I forget… do all appointments require only a simple majority in the Senate, or is that only judges?
The reason they don’t teach proper history anymore is so that we don’t remember what they did in the past. Well, they’re doing it again, only this time over here.
Bttt
I'm not sure either.
Looks like the idea is to entrap and scapegoat gun dealers/sellers and manufacturers for gun deaths , pull licenses and use Garland and DOJ to figure out ways to prosecute dealers/sellers and manufacturers for wrongful deaths for the guns they sell. They can make the paperwork so onerous that any deficiency can be used as a pretext for prosecution.
This is the same template DOJ used against opioid providers and manufacturers.
I just looked it up, and according to what i read, all appointments except Supreme Court require only 51 votes in the senate to confirm. Used to be 60 for everything, until 2013 when Harry threw a hissy fit and went nuclear.

They never want to prosecute the criminal, only the gun and gun manufacturer.
No doubt my two UPOS $enator$ will go yea! 👺
They had better do a roll call vote so we know who the constitutional traitors are.
Don’t need a confirmation, the lawsuits are already flying. Sleepy and his fraudulent US authorities WILL be held accountable for the people’s 2A rights.
Chipman sounds like a blithering leftist idiot. Somebody give him a loaded gun and tell him to go outside and play cowboys and Indians.
Re Feinstein’s stupid statement that he was the right person for the position.
I guess she said in defense of her Red Chinese spy chauffer/aide and possible bedmate, “He was highly qualified and in the right “position”.
She is one of the best ads for “term limitations”.
